Observation details

18 males arrived on lek all at once at 5:30am and flushed at 7:08am. No hens on lek. It was a beautiful morning even with the on and off showers. The sounds of the bird's booming calls before sunrise was eerie, and sounding like an orchestra of glass bottles in the wind. What a fantastic experience.
