Tallgrass prairie

[Toad]

If any of you happen to be passin' through Manhattan, KS, it is worth a stop at the new Flinthills Discovery Center. I took the family there on Wednesday and thought a few of the displays were pretty cool.

I got kind of a "cliff's notes" version of the past/present/future of the tallgrass prairie in this region of the USA. Couldn't leave without buying a couple books to further my education. The kiddos enjoyed it too, especially the theater with the wind, smoke, and snow.

Anyway, just sayin'...

Haven't been in there yet.
They got anything on bird hunting? Bet not, no birds in KS!

A couple features on your favorite bird, the prairie chicken. I think bobwhite got snubbed.

Also had clear cylinders containing the root systems of different native grasses. I had no idea the roots went down so far. Over 10' deep in most cases.
