Spring lek counts suggest numbers cyclically peaked in 2025 at a level that was 26% below the bird’s 2006 high, though other population metrics indicate more stability.

Details are still murky about what transpired before the department’s leader left her job after less than two years, but there are indications the job change wasn’t optional.

Durante años, las poblaciones de dos especies de peces nativas en el río Big Sandy, Wyoming, se vieron amenazadas por especies invasoras como la lota (Lota lota) y otros peces como el white sucker y el longnose sucker. En 2021, el Departamento de Caza y Pesca de Wyoming (WGFD) inició un plan para eliminar las especies invasoras mediante el uso de rotenona, una sustancia venenosa para peces. El proceso comenzó con la captura de más de 6.000 ejemplares de peces autóctonos, principalmente flannelmouth sucker (Catostomus latipinnis), que fueron trasladados a un laboratorio de cría en la Universidad de Wyoming. Durante 2.5 años, el río Big Sandy, un tramo de 52 millas, fue tratado con rotenona para eliminar las especies invasoras. En 2024, se reintrodujeron 2.109 ejemplares de flannelmouth sucker en el río, y en agosto de 2024, los investigadores confirmaron la presencia de ejemplares jóvenes, lo que demuestra que los peces adultos habían logrado reproducirse. El éxito del proyecto se atribuye a la eliminación de amenazas, la protección del hábitat, el control de especies invasoras y la vigilancia genética. Este caso demuestra que la recuperación de especies no consiste simplemente en liberar peces, sino en un proceso complejo que requiere múltiples estrategias a largo plazo. El Departamento de Caza y Pesca de Wyoming destacó que el proceso fue estresante para los peces y que algunos murieron durante el transporte, pero el resultado final es un logro significativo para la conservación de la biodiversidad en el río Big Sandy.
