This hour-long film produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will air Wednesday, May 20th on PBS as part of the award-winning NATURE series.
"The Place in Between," "The Big Empty," "flyover country"... It goes by bleak names, but North America's iconic sagebrush steppe is far more than the forgotten backdrop of a Hollywood western -- it is a vast wilderness spanning 250,000 square miles which, at second glance, is brimming with hardy life. The Sagebrush Sea follows the Greater Sage-Grouse -- an increasingly rare bird with an otherworldly display -- through a year on the steppe.
