Wind Energy and Lesser Prairie Chickens in Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine

Lesser Prairie Chicken, by Jerod Foster

I haven’t visited the blogosphere in a while due to some pretty exciting and unique opportunities, both photography and research-related, but I definitely had to give props to the October issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine. My good friend, Stayton Bonner, and I produced the cover story dealing with the growing wind industry and wildlife that may be affected by its production, more specifically the Lesser Prairie Chicken. The magazine produced a great spread!

This was a fantastic story to be a part of, and thanks goes to Stayton for a great job on the research and writing end, allowing me to be the eyeballs for the story! I’ll post more on the process of the story later, detailing the different shoots we went on, and how everything came together.

While you’re online, swing over to both TPW’s and Stayton’s sites to find out more information about the story and those behind it! More to come, including a how-to on Stayton’s bio shot…
