College-bound Prairie chickens?
|
The University gets all manner of visitors to campus – but a procession of Prairie chickens on the lawn in front of St. Andrew’s College in December was so unusual that Jean Goldie, Assistant to the President of St. Andrew’s, thought she should grab her camera and catch the fleet-footed fowl. By the time she captured them on film, the Prairie chickens were moving quickly along the snow-covered lawn between St. Andrew’s and College Drive, heading for the cover of the riverbank, where they apparently can be spotted from time to time.
