A fun encounter with these birds that eke out a living on some pretty harsh landscape. Our focus was largely on the wild horses that had just arrived at the watering hole but, then I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. This beautiful sage grouse hen was on the move and with her, five chicks. They didn’t linger but it was fun to get picks of a different bird than what I usually see at home.
