  1. sage grouse

    Sage grouse is a large species of grouse or ground dwelling bird, predominantly found in the sagebrush country in the western United States and southern parts of Canada. Their name derives from their preferred habitat - large expanses of sagebrush steppe. They are known for their elaborate courtship rituals, where males display large, white ruff around their neck and a pair of yellowish, inflated air sacs on their chest to attract females. Two species fall under sage grouse - the greater sage-grouse and the Gunnison sage-grouse. These species are notable for their size, with the males significantly larger than the females.

Adult males have a yellow patch over the eye, are grayish on top with a white breast, a dark brown throat and a black belly; two yellowish sacs on the neck are inflated during courtship display. Adult females are mottled gray-brown with a light brown throat and dark belly.
