Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus)

Not the best photo, but it captures my first and so far only sighting of Greater Sage-Grouse (lifer #407). On our way back from Idaho (where I'd seen my lifer Northern Shrike two days before), my classmates and I spent the night at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge so we, accompanied by an HSU alumnus who worked there, could see the sage-grouse lekking the next morning. We did, and it was glorious.
