General Description: Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are large ground birds nearly the size of a turkey. Males are gray-brown with a black belly, black face and collar, and a long spiky tail. Females are smaller than males and aregray-brown overall with a black belly.

Favored Habitat: Open country with sagebrush.

Where to Find: Sage-grouse occur north and east of the Las Vegas area. Look for them in northern Nevada or southern Utah in areas with sagebrush. Sage-Grouse eat sagebrush, so look for them in sagebrush country.

Comments: Some people think Greater Sage-Grouse occur in southern Nevada, but I think they are confused by Chukar and Wild Turkeys, or possibly confused by the black belly on Gambel's Quail.
