Helpful Posts: Recently I spent a few days in Nebraska photographing birds. Here is a Sharp-tailed Grouse that I got early one morning. I enjoyed the colors and the behavior.

Re: Sharp-tailed Grouse
Yes. He was on a lek. I was in a blind. I have attached a link to a Utube video. Notice how the whole group freezes their motion at one time, then starts the dance all over again. They are wonderful to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T27c3OvorZk

Chuck, fantastic photo! Grouse are wonderful birds with amazing "dances". Around here, it's mostly Ruffled Grouse.
