The lion's share of the the Gunnison sage-grouse's population -roughly 4,700 - live in the Gunnison Basin, but an estimated 44 birds live in a 20,400-acre area on Poncha Pass in northeastern Saguache County, according to the agency's 2005 estimates. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will review whether the small bird should be listed as threatened or endangered.
