Robot Birds Deployed in Grand Teton National Park for Sexy Time
Rangers in Grand Teton National Park have deployed robotic sage‑grouse decoys to stimulate breeding among a dwindling population that has dropped by an average of 2.3% per year since the 1960s. The project, led by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and a local high‑school robotics team, uses stationary and animated models that puff chests, perform courtship dances, and broadcast recorded calls.

Trail cameras will track the birds' response throughout the spring lek season.
