Sharp-tailed Grouse

Like many grouse species, Sharp-tailed males gather on leks before sunrise to display. You can hear their feet rapidly stamping on the ground. Males are all trying to outperform each other. Activity really "steps up" when a female arrives. Native Americans often mimicked the Sharp-tailed dance. These birds were filmed in eastern Idaho.

Get-yer motor runnin'. Set out on the highway! They look/sound like little motorcycles doing that thing with the feet :).
