It is officially sage grouse mating season in large areas of Oregon and Washington! Tips on how to keep special areas, or leks, undisturbed: ☑ Sage grouse live in the plains among the sagebrush, a plant they eat all year, so be aware if visiting a sagebrush habitat (central Oregon and Washington, and much of southeast Oregon). ☑ The lek, or mating ground, can be “an old lakebed, a low sagebrush flat with excellent visibility, a ridgetop with little vegetation, even a landing strip, road, croplan

For the past 10 years, ranchers and environmentalists have worked together to keep the greater sage grouse off the endangered species list. So far, it’s mostly been working.

Every year, in late winter and early spring, sage-grouse meet at breeding sites (called leks) to begin a new mating season, and males put on a flashy dance to impress nearby females. They perform this dance across the Sagebrush Sea, which stretches 150 million acres over 13 Western states.

BLM wildlife biologists trekked to a remote area of central Oregon’s high desert a few days ago to conduct annual sage grouse counts. This time of year the birds gather at breeding sites, called leks, where the males puff out their chests, fan their tail feathers and strut to attract females. Biologists counted 25 males and 20 females at this particular lek last Friday, all from a distance of a quarter-mile using a cell phone camera and scope, so as to not disturb the sensitive species.
