Prairie Chicen, Sage Grouse

Greater sage-grouse are an icon of the American West, their booming mating calls at dawn a signature of the great sagebrush sea that covers much of that region. Well-named, this very large grouse is found nowhere except in sagebrush country of the west. It nests on the ground among the sage, and the leaves of this plant are its staple diet in winter.
