Observation details
Displaying on the lek. We used the car as a blind as we slowly neared the lek. Mark reports he hadn’t been here in several years and we wondered if we were in the correct place. But then we heard grouse noises before sunrise and the Sharp-tailed grouse started to appear. We witnessed flutter-jumping movements, which Mark explains is to publicize the location of the dancing ground. The male dance, that reminds me of a country hoe down, inflating purplish air sacs to make quiet cooing noises was an astounding sight. Lifer! Thank you, Mark.
