The Gunnison Sage-Grouse is a distinct and smaller species of sage-grouse, closely related to the Greater Sage-Grouse but geographically isolated. It faces significant conservation challenges due to its limited range.
Where to spot
Restricted to isolated sagebrush habitats in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah.
How to spot
Observation is similar to the Greater Sage-Grouse, focusing on leks at dawn during spring. Due to their critically endangered status and restricted range, observe responsibly and from a distance, adhering to any local guidelines or restrictions.
When to spot
Most observable during the breeding season (March-May) at dawn when males gather on leks for their courtship displays.
