The Columbian sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus columbianus subspecies of sharp-tailed grouse native to the Western United States and British Columbia .
Description [ edit ]
Out of the seven subspecies of sharp-tailed grouse, the Columbian is the smallest at 15–20 inches (38–51 cm ) in length.[1] wedge -shaped tail. Males have a longer tail, a purple throat patch and a yellow comb over the eye.
Distribution and habitat [ edit ]
Its historical range extended from British Columbia south through eastern Washington and Oregon to Northeastern California , Nevada , and Utah , and then west to the Continental Divide .[2] sagebrush -bunchgrass prairies, meadow-steppe , mountain shrub, and riparian zones . It was first described by the Lewis and Clark expedition ,[3] George Ord .[4]
Status and conservation [ edit ]
Due to excessive habitat loss , it is no longer present in the majority of its range, and exists only in isolated remnant populations that comprise less than ten percent of its original habitat.[4] [4] reintroduced in Wallowa County beginning in 1991;[5] Zumwalt Prairie .[6]
The Columbian sharp-tailed grouse was petitioned to be listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act twice, but was denied in both cases.[4] [7] Species of Concern in several U.S. states.[4] [7]
