Dale, your photographs are terrific!  They look exactly as I expected.  But what was unexpected was the hungry-looking rough-legged hawk.  It was looking for breakfast in case the prairie chickens' amorous activity caused them to swoon!

Lola, here's the link I posted for Kris
http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/greater_prairie-chicken/sounds
if you scroll down just a little Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a recording of the call that you can play.

Gayle - there were, again, SEVEN rough-leggeds that we saw. They could have bothered the chickens but they did not. I think they were hunting field rodents, from the look of the one that pounced and came up empty-taloned

Here are three more. Again, forgive the light. It was not really dawn yet.

She says that like it's nothing. I failed art in high school. My stick figures are unrecognizable.

Yes, I know my talents are elsewhere, but still...

Don't feel bad, my stick figures stink too. Imagine stick figures of those four owlets!!! Ha!  What I love about that owlet photo Chris just posted is that each suspicious character in that police lineup has a different expression and degree of discombobulation. Maybe they're all guilty of different owlet-crimes!
