Members of Utah’s Congressional delegation are asking the federal government for more time before it designates the Gunnison sage grouse an endangered species.
The Gunnison sage grouse is a smaller cousin of the grouse that lives all over the west. In Utah, it lives only in San Juan County, mostly on private land near Monticello. There are only about a hundred of them left.
