“Sage grouse across the west face a deadly hazard each spring –fences the birds can’t see when flying to and from traditional breeding grounds known as leks. The collisions are widespread. However, marking fences can reduce strikes by up to 83 percent, according an SGI-funded study by Bryan Stevens, University of Idaho.”
