The Nature Conservancy’s Prairie Wings project has mapped out the places needing conservation to protect thirteen birds of the prairie/grasslands. These include:
- Lark Bunting

- Greater Prairie-Chicken
- Sprague’s Pipit
- Ferruginous Hawk
- McCown’s Longspur
- Scaled Quail
- Long-billed Curlew

- Chestnut-collared Longspur
The Nature Conservancy’s site has detailed species profiles on these 13 birds, including the places they are protecting for them. The Nature Conservancy has been a leader on bird conservation and continues to not just provide insight into the problems birds face, but provides solutions to these problems.
