Bridgerland Audubon Society Field Trip:
Sharp-tailed Grouse Lek
Due to lack of water higher on the mountain and lambing season, our visit to the Selman ranch sharp-tail grouse lek cannot occur this year. However, we will visit a **sage grouse lek** on Ant Flats road south of Hardware Ranch.
This trip is suitable for both novice and experienced birders. Participation requires driving and hiking on a dirt road that could be slick.
We are observing the grouse, not disturbing their activities. Thus we need to maintain our distance. Binoculars or spotting scopes are recommended, but not required.
Call Jack Greene at 435-764-4815 with questions.
Registration Required: RSVP and field trip waiver below required before 7am Friday, May 1, 2026.
Completion of this registration indicates agreement with our field trip activity and photo waivers:
This year’s Sage Grouse Event:
Greater Sage-Grouse are a little different from Sharp-tailed Grouse. However, both display on leks. The particular lek we will see is south of the Utah DWR Hardware Ranch facility.
