Sage-Grouse, Icon of the West
February 12, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm UTC+0
The courtship dance of the greater sage-grouse is known to nature lovers as one of the most impressive wildlife displays in North America. Using extraordinary images, photographer Noppadol Paothong will take you on a journey to the home of these iconic birds, the sagebrush sea of the North American West. The sage-grouse is among many species that make their home here and nowhere else. Paothong’s new book Sage Grouse: Icon of the West celebrates the beauty of the sage-grouse and aims to bring a spotlight to the ever-growing list of threats to its existence.
