Every spring, male sage grouse gather to strut their stuff in riveting mating rituals. 

Punctuating their displays with swishing, hooting and popping sounds, males bob their heads, fan their tail feathers, raise their wings, and expand and contract distinctive yellow air sacs to compete for females' favor. 

But sage grouse “leks,” or mating grounds, are becoming less and less lively as habitat dwindles and numbers decline. 

Due to livestock grazing, development, off-road vehicles and many other threats, greater sage grouse are disappearing from regions across the West. We're fighting to protect them and their sagebrush habitat.
