Greater Sage Grouse

Greater Sage Grouse. Canon R5, 500mm +1.4TC, beanbag, 1/1250 @ f8, ISO 1600

Thanks to a tip from a friend, I spent a couple of days photographing at a greater sage grouse lek not too far from home. It’s interesting to see a lek because typically, one would see this sagebrush habitat and think nothing really lived in it. But when seeing a lek, or breeding ground, and there are 50 or more birds displaying, one realizes how much life this dry habitat supports. This image was taken from my car shortly after the sun had come up.
