Sharp-Tailed Grouse (25842990710)
Description:
Description: In the spring, sharp-tailed grouse form mating grounds, or leks, where they congregate to compete for territories and perform mating displays for visiting females. This crowded scene leads to fighting among the males as they attempt to outcompete one another and win the affections of the onlooking females. Photo Credit: Rick Bohn. Date: 29 March 2016, 08:28.
