I found a Sharp-tailed Grouse dancing with Prairie Chickens on a Lek in Norman
County yesterday morning (5/7). This appears to be only the fourth county
record.
The Lek is located on CR 28, .2 miles east of the corner with CR 33 as you take
it north from CR 39. Note that the road is signed CR 124 where it joins CR 39
though all of my maps have it as CR 28.
The lek is on the south side of the road in a stubble field. There were 16
male Prairie Chickens and the Sharp-tail dancing and the lek is close enough to
the road for the birds to be easily viewed through a spotting scope.
