At 4:00 AM most of their classmates and teachers were still sleeping, but five Northwood high school students were already leaving the school's parking lot (two minutes AHEAD of schedule) enroute to the Namekagon Barrens Wildlife Area to watch some sharp-tailed grouse dance. One of the groups enjoyed a beautiful early summer walk after their birds danced for a little while and then flushed and never returned. The other group saw their seven males dance for hours, attracting several females to the dance party. These birds danced so hard for so long that they collapsed in exhaustion as soon as the females left. This trapped the students and the teacher, Mr. Mooney, in their blind when they'd planned to be driving back for first hour classes. Here is a link to the video: https://aptg.co/GRvfjv.
