Sharp-tailed grouse perform a synchronized dance routine as a team, and the more males, the more impressive their performance.
Posted: Feb 21, 2024 10:26 AM EST | Last Updated: February 22On the vast grasslands of Alberta, a group of sharp-tailed grouse gather for the most important event of the year: a song and dance competition.
These sharp-tailed grouse put on a remarkable show. With their heads down and wings outstretched, they stomp and rattle their tail feathers. Flashes of yellow from the combs over their eyes and bright purple from the air sacs on their necks stand out in a sea of brown and white feathers. Their song sounds like a combination of a jackhammer, a clucking chicken and the coos of a dove.The sharp-tailed grouse is related to the greater prairie-chicken and the greater sage-grouse.
