Read MoreSharp-tailed grouse lek
After five years of watching the sharp-tails it still has not lost any of its excitement. This year was even more special because I got to introduce three young ladies to the fun of early morning sharp-tail watching. We headed out just before 5:00 a.m. to set up our blinds. Here Ruby and her mom, Jenny, watch as the sharp-tails dance within feet of their blind.Female Sharp-tailed Grouse
I believe this is the female but they are very hard to tell apart other than the fact that only the males display. One morning Travis Novitsky was with me and took some video. This link will get you to that video.
