I travel to a nearby Greater Sage-Grouse lek site to see one of the most spectacular displays in the world of birds! I also go birding locally to fill in some gaps in my county year list.

Good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. Yesterday (Hong Kong time zone) afternoon, I saw a rarely seen bird for the second time in years - Black-throated Laughingthrush. This time of the year, there are lots of Pacific Swifts zooming about in the sky around my area in the New Territories of Hong Kong. From time to time, Black Kites do make fly-bys in our neighbourhood, too. These days, I notice that the Chinese Blackbirds have changed locations so they are not so easily seen these days.

If you love the Sage Grouse you will really love seeing Greater Prairie Chickens from a blind.

That would be amazing! Hopefully I can see them soon!

I saw the Greater Sage Grouse for the first time this year. They suddenly appeared, I'm not sure where they came from. We watched them for an hour or so then they left as suddenly as they appeared. It is so cool to watch them.

They are such cool birds! They start out as looming shadows moving silently through the sage brush and then as the sun comes up they start their show. So fascinating!

I’ve seen and photographed Greater Sage-Grouse at 2 Leks in OR. I have also seen Gunnison Sage-Grouse in CO. Fun but yes early morning starts.

Greater sage grouse are almost a myth up here!! There is a tiny population in the province and i'm pretty sure I would pass out or cry if I saw one

Sending you Greater Sage-Grouse luck!! 🍀

I've never seen a greater sage-grouse, but I have seen a sharp-tailed grouse in Nebraska.

@brighteyedbirding 2 ай бұрын

That's awesome! Sharp-tailed Grouse are very cool! I hope to see those with a better view soon as they were hidden by tall grass the last time I encountered them.
