The diversity of life...awesome!
If you have not seen a greater sage grouse dance this year watch this video. The birds are amazing,the land is stunning. Wouldn't it sadden you to know this was gone forever?

That video is amazing. I will be sharing it with family and friends. What awesome birds. I have seen them while poking around out west, but not perform at their lek before. I have been lucky enough to be very close to a ruffed grouse while they do their drumming. Talk about an awesome experience. You can feel it in your chest!

Gloria you've been adding some real nice threads since my absence. I haven't commented much along the lines any where here today as I'm pretty much trying to wiz through some almost 300 new post but I wanted to let you know I've enjoyed viewing them. Thank you for your additions!

It is hard to catch up when you're away for a while. I have been doing some marathon reading as well.

I'm doing a slow and steady catch up...no marathon for me.
If I missed anything that someone wants me to see (or if a response from me is required), perhaps someone could do me the favor of posting and bumping it up where I can see it easily.  If not, I'll get to it when I see it.
