Sage grouse live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming,
Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Oregon,
Washington, Nevada and California. Formerly, sage grouse also were found in British Columbia, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.

In Saskatchewan, sage grouse live on the northern end of their North American
range. Sage grouse live in the silver
sagebrush habitat near Govenlock, next
to the Alberta border.

The sage grouse can be found on
open plains and sagebrush plains. The
sage grouse needs water because that
attracts insects that are the protein part
of the sage grouse’s diet. Plants found
in the sage grouse’s habitat are sagebrush, weeds, and grasses. Sagebrush is used
for food, building nests, and for hiding. Animals in the sage grouse’s habitat are golden eagles, hawks, coyotes, foxes,
badgers, and raccoons.

Sage grouse live in a climate where there
are four seasons and it’s fairly dry. Sage
grouse don’t go south for the winter.

The size of the sage grouse’s home range
is 11 to 31 square kilometres in the winter
and 3 to 7 square kilometres in summer.
During a day in winter the sage grouse
may travel over 700 metres to find food.
Sage grouse must be able to find enough
sagebrush to eat during the winter months
to live.
