| Description |
-Photo by Nick Myatt, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife- Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Greater Sage-Grouse are best known for their elaborate courtship displays, which occur on traditional strutting grounds known as leks, where males gather each spring. At all seasons both sexes are readily identified by large size and chicken-like build. Adults are mottled dark gray, black and buff, with black bellies and pointed tails. Males have specializations used in display. Their tail feathers are long and pointed with white spots. They have yellow combs over each eye and a chest sac with two bare, yellow patches of skin which are inflated during display. The display lasts only a few seconds and is a combination of color, movement and sound. They are most common in the southeastern desert regions of the state and generally limited to sagebrush habitats. Males shown in breeding display on Baker County lek, above |
