Females watch intently as males bend low to the ground, raise their pointed tails skyward, and stamp their feet so fast they become a blur, all while inflating purplish air sacs to make quiet cooing noises. The rest of the year, these plump birds forage in grasslands, open fields, bogs, and forest or woodland, where they take to the trees to nibble buds and berries. • Sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) are native to the United States and Canada. The range of this species is as far west as Alaska, as far east as Matagami, Canada, as far northwest as the shore of the Beaufort Sea, and as far northeast as the Hudson Bay. The range continues southward into the United States, touching the northwest tip of Kansas and covering the western half of Nebraska and eastern half of Wyoming. • Scientists place Sharp-tailed Grouse in genus Tympanuchus, the prairie-chickens. The word means “drum nape” and refers to the purple air sacs (extensions of the esophagus) that displaying males inflate at the side of the neck. These sacs are not simply adornments. They amplify the male’s cooing courtship call and may help to show off his overall health. • Some Native American tribes are very familiar with the spring displays of Sharp-tailed Grouse and have incorporated elements of the birds’ displays into their traditional dances. Some, including the Grouse Dance of the Northern Tutchone people, continue to be practiced in the twenty-first century. • Sharp-tailed Grouse grow fleshy projections on their toes called pectinae (singular: pectina). They distribute the bird’s weight as it walks on unstable surfaces such as snowfields. • Like ptarmigan, and like other prairie-chicken species, Sharp-tailed Grouse sometimes build tunnels through snow for their night roosts. The tunnels provide protection from predators and insulation against extreme cold. • • Also known as the In between bird • • Fire Bird or Fire Grouse • • Gallo de Las Praderas Rabudo (Spanish) • • Tétras à queue fine (French) • Timestamps • 1.
