A Special Presentation of the Jackson Hole Bird & Nature Club.
Please join us for a special evening as Anna Chalfoun presents an update on recent research into the status and life histories of sagebrush dependent bird and animal species in Wyoming extensive sagebrush lands. How are species such as Sagebrush Sparrows, Greater Sage-grouse, Pygmy Rabbits, Brewer's Sparrows and Sage Thrashers faring given the dramatic increase in exploitation of natural resources in the sagebrush steppe and human occupation of these once-wild lands?
