The Greater Sage-Grouse is a large bird native to the sagebrush ecosystems of the western United States and parts of Canada. Known for its distinctive courtship displays, males puff out their chests and fan their tail feathers to attract females during the breeding season. This species is recognized for its striking plumage, with males featuring black, white, and brown feathers.
These birds primarily feed on sagebrush leaves, insects, and other plants. The Greater Sage-Grouse is considered a species of concern due to habitat loss from agriculture, urban development, and energy extraction. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and ensure their survival.
