“…Modifications of native habitat by livestock grazing and agriculture are thought to be the major factors in this decline (Hart et al . 1950, Yocum 1952, Buss and Dziedzic 1955, Hamerstrom and Hamerstrom 1961, Aldrich 1963, Rogers 1969, Parker 1970, Zeigler 1979. Many historic use areas were overgrazed by livestock, which reduced bunchgrasses and perennial forbs that are important components of nesting and brood-rearing habitat (Yocum 1952, Jewett et al 1953, Evans 1968).…”

Additionally, conversion of rangeland to cropland destroyed nesting and brood-rearing habitat and deciduous shrubs that are critical sources of winter food and year-round cover (Marshall and Jensen 1937, Jewett et al .…”

District biologist, initiated the project and was a constant source of encouragement and support. Sam Mattise, Cascade Resource Area biologist, served as supervisor and saw to it that all of our field and office needs were met. Both of them assisted in all phases of the project. We are also grateful to Roger Rosentreter for helping with plant identification, Bob Stucker for installing solar panels at our field camp and for helping develop an efficient grouse-trapping method, Terri Thomason for helping with the word processor, Laurie Guntly for preparing the figures, and Raul Morales for helping during the 1984 field season. Brian Czech, Skip Lisle, and Janet Berryhill were hard-working volunteer field assistants. Idaho Department of Fish and Game personnel provided a variety of assistance. Research biologist Bob Autenrieth was project leader for the first two years of the study, during which he supplied most of the field equipment, helped trap grouse, and gave freely of his time and expertise. Lou Nelson advised on computer use and statistical analyses, Fred Edwards and Andy Ogden provided historical information on sharptails in the Hog Creek study area, and Jack Connelly secured funding during the later stages of the study and reviewed the final report. Bob Eng, Montana State University, served as advisor of Vicki's graduate committee. In that capacity he reviewed the chapters on summer habitat use and the Hog Creek study area, and was a valuable consultant to the project. Lynn Irby, Jack Taylor, and Bob White, also of Montana Sate University, provided additional comments on Vicki's thesis. Terri Lonner, Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, provided computer programs for home range and use-availability analyses. Nancy Shaw, Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, was a valuable source of information on the range literature. The dancing sharptail on the cover was drawn by Shelley Watters. Finally, and most importantly, this study would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Tarter, Nelson, and Dunham families, who generously granted us unlimited access to their lands. We especially thank George and Nellie Tarter for their friendship and assistance during the 3 years that we resided on their land.

“…This habitat occurs in both lotic and lentic systems. There has been a clear decline in CSTG abundance and distribution within the state of Washington (Yocom 1952;Buss and Dziedzic 1955;Hays et al 1998;Schroeder et al 2000).…”

“…Former range included both the fescue-wheatgrass (Festuca-Agrophyron) and sagebrush-grass (Artemisia-Agropyron) semidesert scrub associations (Kessler and Bosch 1981). Conversion of grasslands to agriculture and livestock grazing were the primary causes for population declines (Hart et al 1950, Yocom 1952, Buss and Bziedzic 1955.…”

and the Murphy Lake Ranger Station for providing me working room, maps, and aerial photos. I would also like to thank Christie Ferruzzi for volunteering her assistance in searching for the "elusive grouse" and the Lewis Young and Guenter Heinz, two biologists that donated personal time in order to help count and shoot video of birds in the early morning hours. I would also like to express my appreciation for the help and information that Bernie Hall, Dave Genter and Rick Kerr provided. My thanks to landowners Leland Driggs, Al Luciano, Butch Cate, George Shea, and Doc Smiley for allowing me access to their properties and for providing valuable information on land use and grouse observations. My thanks to Canadian biologists Doug Jury, Anna Wolterson, and Penny Ohanjanian for their input and assistance. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Debbi. who put up with me getting up at 3:30 in the morning to go and look for grouse.
