Couple days of photographing grouse on the Grasslands. Mid April is peak breeding season here and bird activity is as good as it gets. Had both chickens and grouse on this lek and there was a lot of fighting over territory’s between the 2 species. I will post some of the fights pics later.

Super cool, thanks for sharing!

Very nice,wont be long and the Ruffed grouse will be drumming up here and the Sharp tails will be dancing,thanks for sharing.

Great shots Tray!

The best pics of them I've ever seen. They should be in bird ID and info publications.

Love the colours on these. Thank you, Wilson Jr.

Nice.Are they both good eating?

Beautiful photos. I tried to get a few chickens for some dinner a few times while trapping in Kansas. The buggers won't let you get too close and when you think you put a good stalk on them they are gone. When you think you are ready to shoot one they are gone.

Awesome pictures.Thanks for sharing them.

Your pictures are so good I could almost hear them cluckin and boomin!

I’m not a fan of eating them, they have a darker meat then a pheasant but not as much as sharpies. Some people really like them though.

excellent pics!! thanks for posting
