A quick look at Greater-Sage Grouse

The greater sage grouse can be “up to 30 inches long and two feet tall, weighing from two to seven pounds”, say the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) - a federal government agency helping in the conservation of the greater sage-grouse.

The diets of these ground-dwelling birds, and cover, consists mainly of sagebrush. However, as a result of “overhunting, habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation” the species is on a decline. Estimates showed historical populations to be 1.6 million to 16 million greater sage-grouse. By 2000 the FWS estimated that number to be between 100,000 and 500,000.
