Older file shot in Nebraska sandhills spring 2021. This is a setup . I took a old fence post laying on the prairie and arranged some grass to try and make it look natural as possible. Most of my leks are very sterile as cattle have grazed the grasses very short and even worse in drought conditions. Nebraska sandhills
are a mixed grass prairie on stabilized sand dunes. Not all leks are good photo opportunities IMO. Some leks get very dirty and beat up looking with very little grass vegetation mostly sand. Leks on side of hills for various reasons can be hard to photograph birds on.
Processed with Dpp 4,Photoshop,Topaz noise. Comments and critiques appreciated.
