Hi Kevin,

Fascinating sounds! I was hoping to have a chance to record a lek in Oregon=
 this spring, but I got severely stuck in the muck of the city this time ar=
ound. I found it disconcerting recently the sage grouse ended up on an enda=
ngered species wait list. I had no idea there was such a thing. I guess tha=
t means "wait" until the big companies are done developing without regard t=
o ecology.
