SAN JUAN COUNTY

Wyatt Egelhoff (25 Mar 2017) - [Hickman Flats Rd] - Gunnison Sage-Grouse. Snippets of display vocalizations audible (faintly) from the road atop a hill overlooking the most extensive portion of Sagebrush I could find along the road. Quite distant, but diagnostic low-pitched burbling. Though considering the severe fragmentation of the Sagebrush patches, I can't imagine the metapopulatons will be able to persist in this area over the long run. Without assistance to help mix up the genetic diversity of the various populations I would suspect these birds would prove vulnerable to disease due to genetic bottlenecking.
