I'd like to point out that the first picture is of a Sage Grouse, and they have the funniest mating call. They also should be on the endangered species list, but because of how they breed and where they live, it would be disastrously inconvenient to follow all the rules and regulations surrounding that. As part of a deal with the Feds, the states that have them have dedicated conservation programs to keep them off the list.
Thanks for the info! I just quick cropped the Google search result. I recognized the bottom one, but figured the top one was neat looking so I left it.
