Production of a second brood, or double brooding, by a single female in one breeding season has not been reported for any species of grouse in North America. We describe the breeding history of one of 55 radio-marked female Greater Prairie-Chickens (Tympanuchus cupido) that successfully renested after losing a brood from a first nesting attempt during the 2011 breeding season in Kansas. Observations of double brooding by grouse might only be possible in areas like the Flint Hills of Kansas, where populations have a long breeding season in combination with a high rate of brood loss.

... However, it has also been used to describe the production of two successful nests during a single breeding season, regardless of brood success (Fredrickson and Hansen 1983). Double-brooding, although common in many bird species (Martin 1987) has only been reported twice in grouse (Kirby andSmith 2005, McNew andWhite 2012). In both cases, second broods were produced after initial broods failed within 10 days of hatch. ...
