Photo of a sharp-tailed Grouse. It is sitting in a patch of dead grass with snow around. The photo was shot in a heavy rain.

A Sharp-tailed Grouse standing in open snow in a winter field, body angled slightly forward, scanning the surroundings before moving on. Sparse grass stubble breaks through the snow, offering minimal cover.
