Witnessing a Sharp-tailed Grouse dancing on a lek is a sight that you won’t soon forget. The males gather before the sun comes up on prairie lands with low-growing grasses that allow them to see their rivals. This past May in Custer State Park in South Dakota, on land where a small airport was recently decommissioned and returned to natural habitat, Sharp-tailed Grouse had reclaimed the lek and were dancing in a show dominance and to attract females. Our vehicle served as a blind and the lek was next to the road and a few feet in elevation so it was at eye level. The males stomp the ground and spin around, flutter-jumping at rivals, calling out as the sun begins to light up the lek. It is both a stunning visual and auditory experience.
