Bi-state Sage Grouse? Or Sooty Grouse? I couldn’t get close enough. In the Desert Creek-Fales PMU, in a meadow area by a small stream but also on the edge of a forested hillside. Adult female led 5 juveniles away from me. Looks like there is white at the wing tips.
Female with young observed on trail to Mt Dana
We were thinking maybe ancient murrelet or crested auklet based on bill shape, color of breast feathers, underwing, size, etc.
