I had the opportunity to photograph a sharp-tailed grouse lek this week. In the spring and fall, grouse congregate in big groups to dance and display. Lek sites are highly protected so it's a huge privilege to get to visit!

an unusual but natural hybrid between a sharp tailed grouse and a greater prairie chicken. despite the confusion of the names, sharp-tailed grouse are also considered prairie chickens, and both species are members of the grouse family.
