A lone male sage grouse displays at a strutting ground, or lek, with natural gas drill rigs in the distance south of Pinedale last spring. (Mark Gocke, Star-Tribune correspondent)
A male sage grouse performed his ‘strut’ during which he rapidly inflates and deflates air sacs in his neck, paces in a circle and makes special noises — all designed to get the attention of potential mates in this file photo from April 2008. It was taken roughly 17 miles southwest of Rawlins. (Jerret Raffety/The Rawlins Daily Times file via AP)
