Had about 40 males show up on the lek but no females so breeding season must be starting to wind down. Even with no females to impress they did their dances and attacked any other male that entered their chunk of praire.

Please go back and water proof your pictures on here, there should be something in Jonathans archives in the way he did it.

I actually think it’s starting to wind down here, getting to be less birds on the leks every day and the males aren’t sticking around as late.

Bird was in rough shape, some of the fights get fairly intense.
