• During most of the nine years the Atman's leks were monitored, male attendance was <br />highest at Annan's 2 (Table 1). Peak male attendance at that lek was fairly consistent from 1993 <br />• <br />through 1997, ranging from 15 to 20 each spring. Attendance was higher from 1998 through <br />200], peaking in 1999 and 2000 with at least 35 males. Counts during spring 2002 were slightly <br />lower. Peak male attendance at Annan's 1 has been more variable over the years. Male <br />attendance at Annan's 3 generally increased from 1995 to a maximum in 1999, and then <br />decreased substantially each year since then (Table 1). Although a few grouse were observed in <br />the vicinity of the lek duing 2002, none were actually observed on the lek itself. <br />Table 1.
