I call them Sage Chickens is that the real name?

Anyway, finally got a good picture of one. Been trying for a bit, tougher than I thought.

Yeah that is what I call them to. I think that they are supposed to be called sage grouse.

Looks like a chicken to me.

Yeah, there are called sage grouse. I have participated in habitat studies here in Idaho on sage grouse. I have also trapped sage grouse, quite a hoot you should try it sometime. Here a picture I shot the other day of one.

The Greater and the Gunnison found in the Gunnison basin of wester Colorado and around Monticello, Utah into Dove Creek CO.
