We have a similar problem in Scotland where fences were erected to keep Red deer out of sensitive areas but the Capercaillie which is a rare species here cannot see them and so fly in to them and commit accidental Hari kari. Is this what happens with the Sage grouse?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436263891275733023.post-46173186617372510212009-11-11T07:42:30.150-08:002009-11-11T07:42:30.150-08:00Fantastic photos, Bill.

I too care about the environment and about respecting all creatures on the earth, but without the kind of first-hand knowledge you provide, I could easily be misled about the best course of action for the sage grouse.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588695586677501283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436263891275733023.post-86199277543483947092009-11-10T09:12:26.275-08:002009-11-10T09:12:26.275-08:00Funny I had an old picture of ruffed grouse huntin...Funny I had an old picture of ruffed grouse hunting up today on one of my blogs and you have sage pictures.

I'm glad you have shown an example that man and beast can co-exist. So much of the world acts as if the earth would be better without mankind upon it. Sure we could all be better stewards and avoid abusing the earth. I just have the perspective that the good Lord put all the plants and animals on this hunk of rock for me to use and enjoy appropriately.Birding is Fun!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11836693921863185316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436263891275733023.post-79204826059780852932009-11-08T10:27:51.460-08:002009-11-08T10:27:51.460-08:00We've visited a sage grouse lek near here for ...We've visited a sage grouse lek near here for years. There's a "sage grouse crossing" sign on the road because they don't seem worried about cars at all. They don't seem to mind photographers, either.
