Chickens ...
exclusive prairie chickens scattered through thousands of acres of tallgrass and frustrated hunters lining the highways, where they can cursing each other and shooting at crow's.
From page one
hunting them was banned in Kansas, but the ban was lifted in the 1960s.
Delicious to eat, they are terrible to hunt.
Mengel painted a verbal picture of
"There has been an ever-longer hunting season and more-ever liberal limits, with no damage to the prairie chicken population whatsoever," Mengel said.
He maintained that as long as present agricultural and grazing practices continue there is no difficulty ahead for the prairie chicken in Kansas.
Cultures of U.S., China said to be worlds apart
913-812-1511
Dewitt despite a common commitment to deter Soviet aggression, the People's Republic of China and the United States share little in their stance, a Chinese cultural expert said yesterday.
Donald Munroe, professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan, spoke on "Contemporary Chinese and American Literature" in the Council Room of the Kansas Union.
The American value of individualism conflicts with the Chinese concept of selflessness, Munre said, and it is important for Americans to realize this conflict.
FREEDOM OF self-exPRESSION, an American tradition, is limited in China. The 1978 Chinese constitution does not provide for freedom of speech, and many voices of voicing their beliefs, Munro said.
"It's a ionic against romanticizing the prospects of long-term accord between the United States and the People's Republic." he said.
"The free expression of views is a gift from the top down in China because the country has been taught to speak said. "In the West, free speech emerged from the bottom up, starting with groups of young people."
The Chinese system of individual repression is perpetuated by peer respect and disrespect, Murro said.
flexibility in China recently because of the government's attempt to modernize the country.
"In China, where you cannot easily move, it matters a great deal what your peers think of you," he said. "It's difficult to forget the photographs of Deng Xin-pang riding around the back of a truck with a backpack, wearing a wearing a proclaiming his crimes."
But Munro said there had been some
"Selflessness is a value that is institutionalized in childhood," he said. "If you jog down in the morning past the breakfast, you're going to miss a jug that says 'See the people.'"
THE CHINESE virtue of selflessness also helps to maintain the status quo, be said. Individual identity is defined in terms of fulfilling social roles, be said.
Munro is the author of "The Concept of Man in Early China." He received a Ph.D. in Chinese and Japanese from Columbia University in 1964.
his lecture was sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies and the Center for Humanistic Studies, in conjunction with him at Harvard University. West, Contrasts, Parallels, Exchanges."
WE REACH THE BLIND after a 45-minute trick, but we are austere. The light down from the ceiling was dark and began. As we approach the brown wood blind we distrust a flock of about 25 cocks.
there's no need for a prairie chicken refuge," Mengel said. "The vast expanses of inaccessible ranchland are refuges."
Another group of observers arrived before we did, and they are angry. If the birds don't return that day, we will bear the blame.
We settle in on the hard wooden plank that serves as a bench and whisper apologies. A chair is provided, with soft cushions and we are one group, united by our willingness to intrude on the plairie in order
We train our eyes on the ridge to the north, where the birds have retreated. We wait, and watch them come back. We protracted wolf whistling and their clucking, but the birds were too close to chuckle, but less frightened. More peaceful.
Finally reassured by the renewed calm, a squawfish of boomers returns. All 25 land in fantastic organization, fashion Each has its own territory and his戴ed soot within it.
They win their territories in early spring after weeks of sparring. The less dominant males have positions on the periphery. the "alpha" male - the cockeure cock - has the
NIMEMDATELY THE booming begins, a mournful call that comes from nowhere and everywhere. The birds inflate their golden wings as they move through the aviron ventriquents. They are in front of us, but the sound comes in waves from all sides. So it sounds like a loudspeaker sounds loudest behind the blind. It is chilling.
Now and then, one crosses onto another's
turf and a tiff enues. The contenders ap-
practise each other, puff up, lean a foot in the ground and stand on it. They down and down and down. Everlastly they use interest and walk away, leaving the grass around the site of the argument laced with them.
THE BLIND we take another doughnut break to exchange tidbits of fact and whimsy. We learn that only two copulations have been witnessed this spring. Both were the alpha male's. The females, our guide tells us, are fickle. It takes them a long time to realize what they mean.
A marsh hawk approaches from the west. Hawks are one of the chickens' few natural predators. Another is the oyote. Neither is the hawk, but it preys on chickens,鳆类 of the long hawk long before we are, freeze them, fly for cover. In the prairie chicken's hunger of needs, survival appears to be possible.
To give the chickens a little privacy in their sex lives, people are allowed to visit the blind only three mornings each week. After the spring, about 280 will experience the scars.
"After their territorial fights," someone suggests, "the males look smoky. They look like they're thinking, 'I hope a female saws that, and I sheh she thinks I won.'"
"I want an Egg McMuffin," the six-year-olds bored.
"Are they as patient as they seem?" someone asks. "Or does instinct leave them no choice? Why don't they, 'to hell with it'?"
FINALLY, ABOUT 7.15, they do. The wistful booming gives way to practical carkilling; possibly a discussion of where to end the blind and at the end of the blind and they disappear.
The walk back to the car is easier with benefit of guide and daylight. We flush a heath and laugh, realizing we had been privy to a performance meant only for her.
The prairie chicken, Mengels say, is just one more living creature, and it is faring well these days. It's an ecoology story with a happy ending. The prairie deserves it.
