the greater sage-grouse, also known as the sagehen, is north america’s largest grouse species. previously known simply as the sagegrouse, the original grouping has been divided into the greater sage-grouse and the gunnison’s sage-grouse. brushy sage steppe habitats are crucial to conservation of this species; during the majority of the year, their diet is over 60% composed of sage, and the species cannot live in habitats where sage isn’t found growing densely. this unusual bird is also known for complicated lek-based breeding rituals where the male inflates the yellow sacs on his chest to ‘boom’ and strut, sometimes for hours.

The Greater Sage-Grouse, a species of greatest conservation need in Oregon and many other states, are best known for their elaborate courtship displays, which occur on traditional strutting grounds known as leks, where males gather each spring.

Yellow-bellied Marmot hiding out in his den.
