 This photo obviously taken without much light. |
 "So, how's your 401k doing?" asked one grouse. "It's doing great, but I'll probably get eaten by a coyote right after I retire," said one grouse. "All that work for nothing," said another one. |
 It was a quiet morning. I could hear vehicles and other things many miles away while the grouse danced. |
 |
 As I have said before, I like to see at least one eye of one grouse on any photograph that I take. The eye on this grouse is almost stealth, but you can see it. |
 Just about a mirror image. |
 |
 I like snow in the photograph as it provides decent contrast for photographs. |
 |
 A little fight, followed by a little jump. |
 |
 |
 Scratch. |

 If you are out on the lek long enough, soon you photograph almost every pose. |
 This is probably my favorite photograph of the morning. |

 Sunlight shows after a mostly cloudy morning. |

 If you look close at the grouse on the left, he has some feathers in his mouth that are from the other sharptail grouse. |
 The males like their territory and will fight for it. The action shots can look ridiculous sometimes. |
 Grouse number 22, you are cleared to land on runway 3. |

Back. |
