About the Presentation

In this discussion, Dr. Brett Walker will review results from more than a decade of Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s research on sagebrush-obligate birds in western Colorado. His projects reveal some new and unexpected patterns of habitat use and selection among Greater Sage-Grouse and Brewer’s Sparrows. These discoveries have also led to new recommendations for habitat treatments to offset Greater Sage-Grouse habitat loss from energy development, and expanded our understanding of how Greater Sage-Grouse populations fluctuate and how individuals move in relation to leks during the breeding season.
