Abstract

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.
