The Sagebrush Sea
Season 33 Episode 16 | 53m 10sVideo has Closed Captions
The Greater Sage-Grouse and other wildlife struggle to survive in a rugged landscape.
It’s been called The Big Empty – an immense sea of sagebrush that once stretched 500,000 square miles across North America. Yet it’s far from empty, as those who look closely will discover. In this ecosystem anchored by the sage, eagles and antelope, badgers and lizards, rabbits, wrens, owls, prairie dogs, songbirds, hawks and migrating birds of all description make their homes.
