I was going back through some of the images I took this past summer and came across this photo of a Greater Sage-Grouse I photographed in July.<\/p>\n

\"GreaterGreater Sage-Grouse in Montana – Nikon D7100, f6.3, 1\/640, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light, not baited
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding the Greater Sage-Grouse can be difficult because they can blend into their habitat so well but the flock I photographed were close to the road and out where they were visible. It was even easy for me to point the hen out.<\/p>\n

I was fortunate to see Greater Sage-Grouse several times last summer in the Centennial Valley of Montana and in Clark County, Idaho<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even when I am not aiming my lens at these large grouse I am enchanted by their shape, plumage, and the habitat they live in. I hope that one day I will be able to visit a lek while they are displaying. I need to put that on my bucket list.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
