[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 309831, member: 9521"] That is what I used to call a prairie hen but is officially called a sage grouse. You can see the details pretty well on my large monitor but once shrunk down and posted here it's not so easy to see them so here's a tighter version of the image. I caught this guy when I drove back to the Little Big Horn after reading an excellent book about the whole battle. He stood in the grass very close to me and let me fire off a bunch of shots but then decided he'd had enough and started to run. I was panning him the whole way so that when he took to the air I was able to snag a couple decent shots of him while still in panning mode. These grouse, btw, make for some amazingly good eating. It's a shame their numbers are declining to rapidly and it looks like they'll soon be on the Endangered Species list in 2015 (much to the chagrin of all the BLM farmers).
