Hi Brendan,
April is the time for the famous 'Chicken Run' in Colorado, where you can
get the following grouse at their leks:
Dusky Grouse Dendragapus obscurus
Greater Sage Grouse Centrocercus urophasianus
Gunnison Sage Grouse Centrocercus minimus
Sharp-tailed Grouse Tympanuchus phasianellus
Greater Prairie-chicken Tympanuchus cupido
Lesser Prairie-chicken Tympanuchus pallidicinctus
White-tailed Ptarmigan Lagopus leucura
This leaves you with the following species:
Ruffed Grouse
Spruce (& Franklin's) Grouse
Willow Ptarmigan
Rock Ptarmigan
Sooty Grouse
Cheers,
Nikolas
