We made our annual trip to the sharp-tailed grouse “lek” to watch the male grouse dance and fight (basically show off so the females will pick them for mating). You have to be there at first light. The early morning sun makes the feathers glow.
It doesn’t matter if we set our blind right in the middle of the dancing field, they will dance all around us like we weren’t even there. Many times they came within feet of our blinds.
