Bi-State Basics

The Bi-State sage-grouse is a population of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) that is genetically and geographically isolated from other greater sage-grouse populations. It is considered to be a distinct population segment (DPS) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Its range occurs within an area approximately 170 miles long and up to 60 miles wide and includes portions of five counties in western Nevada: Douglas, Lyon, Carson City, Mineral, and Esmeralda; and three counties in eastern California: Alpine, Mono, and Inyo.
