More Sage Grouse

Saturday I took a neighbor out looking at sage grouse.   Living here for many years, he had never seen them.  I thought they might be done, but on a lek there were over 50 of them and I wanted to get some silhouette pictures of them so I parked below a ridge line and "harvested" these.  By the way, two cocks got into a fight under the truck which made it very exciting.







A very wild day in Idaho - wildness is the essence of the enjoyment of life.

beautiful morning light on the cocks. Hope your neighbor was appreciative of the display.

Great shots Bill I like the different aspect of the view point.

I've never seen sage grouse…nice sequence of photos, Bill! I know you get to see them each year, quite a blessing. I miss "the west"!

The silhouettes are great!
Anyone who hasn't seen a sage grouse lek needs to get out there and see one - but for those who can't, your p hotos are the next best thing.

Wow Great pictures of a most interesting "event." Very few of these left in Minnesota so I've never seen one...
