Sharp-tailed Grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) are widely distributed in British Columbia. Two subspecies, the “Alaskan” and “plains” (T.p. caurus and T.p. jamesi), occur in northern British Columbia, and are associated with openings in forested areas and aspen complexes. A third subspecies, the “Columbian” (T.p. columbianus), occurs as an isolated metapopulation in the central and southern portions of B.C.’s interior. It occupies both climax grasslands and openings in forested areas. Information on the northern subspecies’ distribution range and population status in British Columbia is largely unknown; therefore, it is not possible to assign a ranking to these subspecies. The “Columbian” subspecies is currently on the provincial Blue List. “Columbian” sharp-tails have benefited from large-scale clearcut harvesting in the northern part of their range, but they have suffered significant declines in climax grasslands. “Columbian” sharp-tails are extirpated from the Okanagan, and are virtually extirpated from th
