G is for Grouse

Welcome to the 2015 A to Z Blogging Challenge! Each day for the month of April I will be posting alphabetically from A to Z and my theme is Wyoming.

Wyoming is home to more sage grouse than any other state. If you want to see sage grouse in Wyoming, you have to get up while it's still dark, drive out to grouse country, and wait for first light. That's when grouse are on the move. Like most bird species, the grouse hen has plain plumage that serves as camouflage to protect her young. The males are the Preeners and the Prancers.I call them Dancers of the Dawn.

What would inspire you to rise at the crack of dawn?
