SAGE GROUSE LEK COUNT
Item Number: 129
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
ONE DAY TRIP for TWO to THREE PERSONS will join an Idaho Fish and Game wildlife biologist on an early morning (departure at 5:30 am) excursion to observe and count male sage grouse performing their springtime mating ritual in the sagebrush flats near Leadore, Idaho. Learn about the biology and habitat requirements of Idaho's sage grouse. Male sage grouse gather in areas called leks each spring to display for females in hopes of the opportunity to mate. Each spring, biologists count the birds present on groups of leks, called lek routes, to monitor changes in sage grouse populations. Definitely an entertaining sight to see so bring warm clothing and binoculars! TRIP AVAILABLE APRIL 6 through MAY 9, 2009. Winning bidders need to provide transportation to Leadore, Idaho.
