I greatly appreciate that very educational link. I must take exception though, as the American tallgrass prairie looks nothing like that photo. Checking wikipedia, that would be pretty indicative of perhaps the very thin shortgrass prairie from pretty far west (Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico) where the cowboy lifestyle was prevalent? Tallgrass prairie is gorgeous and very colorful.
