This video shows just a bit of the mating display and lek behavior of the Greater Sage-Grouse. Important information regarding Fish and Wildlife Service's status review of this species is given at the end of the video.
This lek is located south of the Sun Valley area. Sadly this lek has been pretty much wiped out and it is likely that West Nile is the cause. I was lucky to have done the filming over the course of 4 springs before the summer that West Nile arrived in Idaho.
Do an Internet search for Dubose Grouse Days and you will get some good information on how and where to see Greater Sage Grouse. All the best, Kathleen
God Bless all the places that have not been destroyed by greed!

Where in Idaho was this? Looks really neat. I'd like to see them dance sometime.
