CPW conducts active spring lek monitoring for greater prairie-chicken in northeast Colorado (Yuma/Washington/Phillips counties), but no discrete standalone 2026 report, press release, or numeric count was found this pass (re-checked 2026-08-19 via fresh web search) — unlike lesser prairie-chicken, whose 2026 count reached outdoor press. No confirmed fixed publish window exists for this species; monitor CPW's species page and regional ag/outdoor press.
