Abstract:

The sage sparrow is a widespread breeder in shrub-steppe habitats from the northern edges of the Great Basin sagebrush expanses west of the Rocky Mountains to the chaparral and sagebrush scrub in Baja California. Great Basin sage-brush habitat was the focus of intense avian-community ecology studies from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and these studies provide the basis of what is known about the Sage Sparrow today. This species account provides the known information about the sage sparrow's life history, including its distribution, migration, habitat, food habits, sounds, behavior, and breeding. Also included are notes about management and conservation as well as priorities for future research.
