I realize that even though I have a helper, the study of the 
sage chicken, its foods, habits, and preservation, would re- 
quire two or more years of constant work and the handling of 
a great number of birds. ,But I do think that my-study will open 
light in some subjects anitimulate an interest for further 
research work with the sage grouse. 
Willow grouse, or fool hens as they are commonly called, are 
practically exterminated in Idaho a   Wyoming.
