Pronunciation: [sˈɛntɹə͡ʊsəkəs] (IPA) 
Centrocercus is a genus of birds commonly known as sage grouse, which is found in North America. Several synonyms can be used to refer to these birds, including Centrocercus urophasianus, Centrocercus minimus, and Centrocercus obscurus. These birds are known for their impressive courtship displays, where males inflate their chests, fan their tail feathers, and make booming sounds with their vocal sacs to attract females. Sage grouse are an important species in the ecological communities where they live because they act as seed dispersers and help control insect populations. However, they are also threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting, making their conservation a matter of concern for many researchers and conservationists.
