Alpine grouse.
SUMMIT COUNTY — An older Summit Voice story zoomed to the top of the charts late in the week, with Google searches for “alpine grouse” and other related terms leading readers to a story about the impacts of winter recreation on wildlife. I’m not really sure why this story from a year ago all of a sudden picked up so many page views. I did a bit of research to see if there have been some new developments in alpine grouse conservation but came up empty handed.
Other popular stories included an article on new estimates about when Greenland might lose its ice cap, as well as continued political manipulation of endangered species politics.
We had one day with page views well above 4,000, while page views the rest of the week stayed between 3,500 and 4,000, right in the average zone.
