Maryland, 2; National Audubon Society, 1; and 16 other photographers and interested 
individuals. Most of these visitors (particularly university and college groups) 
were a distinct aid to the research project by recording their observations while 
in the blinds. All groups were closely supervised in order to keep harassment of 
prairie chickens on booming grounds to an absolute minimum. The prairie chickens 
at Bogota thus provide a unique learning experience and recreational opportunity 
for Illinoisans and for visitors from other states.
