Abstract:

One of the most striking examples of reduction in game bird populations in the western United States is afforded by the Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse, Pedioecetes phasianellus columbianus. Early settlers observed thousands of these birds on the grassy benchlands of the Rocky Mountain area; now few are left. State Game Commissions have prohibited hunting of these birds but still they are disappearing or barely holding their own. One of the original projects of the Cooperative Wildlife Research Station at the Utah State Agriculture College in Logan, Utah, was an intensive study of the last remaining groups of these birds in northern Utah. The following report presents data gathered during field work in Cache Valley and vicinity, that was largely financed by that organization.
