In this photo released by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, a male lesser prairie chicken is shown in March 2006, at the Anderson Ranch in the Texas Panhandle. An agreement between officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department was signed Thursday, Nov. 2, 2006. The agreement calls for participating landowners to control brush, manage grazing and conduct planned burns to build and maintain the bird's habitat of low shrub and grasslands. That natural landscape has shrunk through various land uses. (AP Photo/Texas Parks and Wildlife, Gerard Betrand)

(AP) -- Panhandle rancher Jim Bill Anderson has for years been preserving the habitat of the lesser prairie chicken to keep the rare bird from falling onto a federal wildlife watch list.
