Abstract
Interpretation of regional differences in Sage Grouse body weight is difficult. Although regional differences occur, weight relationships between age and sex classes and seasons are similar; yet absolute differences vary as much as 24% from North Park weights (which were the highest). Lower weights reported may result from regional differences in populations and/or habitat quality. The relationship of habitat to body weight should be investigated in association with survival rates. Weight data from a specific region or population should not be extrapolated to other Sage Grouse notmlations. The marked seasonal differences in body-weights throughout Sage Grouse range hinder the use of weight as a comparative parameter among populations.
