The Greater Sage Grouse Lek is on in eastern Idaho. Volume up for hilarious sound. It’s wild what some guys do to catch a girl.

It’s that time of year again in #Wyoming. #Sagegrouse are gathering in leks where males will perform their ancient courtship ritual to attract females. It’s really something to see. #bird #birdphotography #photography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #birds #nature

Keep looking for the positives, the small wins, the breaks in the storm. Every storm eventually loses its momentum.

Should have written workshops - they do virtual stuff too if you (like me) are still covid averse.
My trip with them in 2015 into sagegrouse country was pretty revelatory.
They cover all expenses but airfare. And they take freelancers.

Lauren's post has inspired hours of memories- within a few miles of there, I've counted #sagegrouse dancing on their leks, watched pronghorn racing through the sage, & scrambled up scree filled with bubblerocks, some with common opal, & overall just marveling at the natural world... #HeavenOnEarth
