I’ve posted a few grouse pictures of Sharp-tails dancing on leks in the past. Has been a goal of mine for a while to get them in the snow. Three inches of snow last night gave me the opportunity this morning to snap a few pics. Hope you enjoy

Numbers here are as high as I have ever seen them. This lek I photographed on usually has 15-20 birds on it, yesterday there was close to 40 birds.

Yes, flocks of 20 +, and that was a couple weeks ago. I wonder if they break up during mating because now it’s fewer birds but more spread out.

I didn’t notice them last year. For some reason.
