Adopt-a-Lek |
[Wildlife; Monitoring] |
March 15th through April 30th |
Volunteers visit sage-grouse breeding sites (leks) in remote portions of Malheur County and count birds. Counts are conducted during three periods between March 15th and April 30th. The Adopt-a-Lek program is in 16th year !!! This project is very important to ODFW’s sage-grouse monitoring effort. Driving a state and/or personal vehicle is required to perform the counts. Access to these sites requires a high clearance or preferably, 4WD vehicle as road conditions vary from graded dirt to 4DW Roads. |
