The Sharptail is not a lesser Prairie Chicken. The Greater and Lesser Prairie Chicken are two distinct species and the Sharptail Grouse is a third. The Sharptail is the only one of the three which is still found in Alberta. Pinnated grouse is an encompassing term for the Prairie Chickens, of which there are three species. The two already named and the At t w a t ers, which is the rarest form.

Reason: the grouse name At****ers contains an apparently bad word
