Overview
The greater sage grouse is one of North America's most iconic grassland birds, known for its dramatic lekking displays and its ties to fragile sagebrush ecosystems. This handbook gives readers a clear, accessible look at the species, its behavior and the conservation challenges shaping its future.
You'll find an overview of the bird's range, habitat requirements and the seasonal changes that influence movement, diet and flocking patterns. The book explains lekking behavior in a straightforward way, highlighting what researchers and field observers look for during courtship displays and why these gatherings matter to population studies. Identification chapters help readers distinguish males, females and age classes, while conservation sections break down current threats, recovery efforts and the landscape-scale work being done to protect sagebrush country.
Whether you're a birder, student, land manager or anyone interested in Western wildlife, this guide offers a practical introduction to the greater sage grouse and the ecosystems it depends on.
