The 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 make unique sounds to attract females during the breeding season. They have a mottled brown and gray plumage that helps them blend into their arid habitat.
Sage-Grouse are primarily herbivorous, feeding on sagebrush leaves, grasses, and other plants. Their populations have declined due to habitat loss, wildfires, and climate change, leading to conservation efforts aimed at protecting their habitats and ensuring their survival.
