35 Unmapped Seasonal Habitats Breeding Habitat and Summer-Fall Habitat - If these seasonal habitats are not mapped and field-validated, they should be designated by 2 concentric circles around active leks (Fig. B-1). Mapped Seasonal Habitats If seasonal habitats have been mapped (Fig. B-1), the following guidelines should be followed in, and relative to, the mapped habitat. 0.6 mile radius (Breeding Habitat [Lek only]) 4.0 mile radius (Breeding Habitat [Nesting, Early- Brood-Rearing], and Summer-Fall Habitat) Mapped Habitat (Breeding [Nesting, Early-Brood-Rearing], and Summer-Fall Habitat) Winter Habitat If winter habitat is not delineated, then the following guidance should be used. Winter habitat is highly variable from year to year, depending upon winter conditions (especially snow depth).

36 Mapping Seasonal Habitat Define GrSG seasonal habitats and map them into the GIS database. Incorporate GIS modeling techniques such as slope and aspect, observational data, and habitat assessment data into the seasonal habitat definitions Evaluate the amount and spatial arrangement of GrSG habitat in Colorado.

58 Sage-Grouse Habitat Guidelines Connelly et al. (2000:975) Because of gaps in knowledge and regional variation in habitat characteristics, the judgments of local biologists and quantitative data from population and habitat monitoring are necessary to implement the guidelines correctly.

60 Sage-Grouse Habitat Guidelines Other National Guidance Sage-grouse BLM National Technical Team (2011) Conduct land health assessments that include (at a minimum) indicators and measurements of structure/condition/composition of vegetation specific to achieving sage-grouse habitat objectives If local/state seasonal habitat objectives are not available, use sage-grouse habitat recommendations from Connelly et al. (2000) and Hagen et al. (2007).

61 Sage-Grouse Habitat Guidelines What did the guidelines for Colorado come from?

62 Colorado Sage-Grouse Habitat Guidelines In developing these habitat guidelines, we summarized only Colorado GRSG habitat use data

63 Colorado Sage-Grouse Habitat Guidelines The vegetation structure guidelines should be interpreted as minimum standards, and managers should strive to meet the full potential of any given site. -Colorado Greater Sage-grouse Conservation Plan (2008:A-4)

64 Greater Sage-Grouse Where did CO guidelines come from?

65 Sage-Grouse Habitat Guidelines Greater Sage-Grouse State Plan These habitat guidelines should be considered adaptive, and interim in nature. The guidelines were developed from actual grouse use sites, but should be considered as guidance and not absolute values. Landscapes are diverse; some areas on the landscape will not meet these guidelines, some areas will meet the guidelines, and some will exceed these guidelines. As new information is collected, these guidelines, as well as this plan are meant to be adaptable.

79 Summary Sagebrush, sagebrush, sagebrush. Three seasons of use: breeding, summer, and winter. Grouse select habitat at differing scales. Grouse demonstrate seasonal, annual, and generational site fidelity. Braun et al. (1977) and Connelly et al. (2000) are not applicable to Colorado because we have better local data.

80 Summary Habitat guidelines are based on bird selection at the 4 th order scale and are specific to Colorado. Measurements at a local scale for greater sage-grouse habitat may meet, may not meet, or may exceed current guidelines.
