Among red stems and dry grass, a Sharp-tailed Grouse holds its ground. Nothing flashy, just quiet awareness in a busy landscape.

One of the Sharp-tailed Grouse at a lek near Hayden, CO. They were a spectacle to behold! Colorado Grouse Tours was able to provide crushing views of these birds. #sharptailedgrouse #tympanuchusphasianellus #grouse #grasslandbirds #colorado
