Ray and Dory, that was really fine. I’ve visited a couple of their leks, but never that close and with all that wonderful behavior.

The video we put together includes the most aggressive fight we have seen in lekking birds, starting around the two minute mark. The fight is shown in slow motion. The slide show at the end of the video include photos of the blind we used to observe the grouse as well as some of the interaction between the birds.
