…♪♫♪♫ and a partridge in a bare tree. ♪♫♪ The bird is actually a Ruffed Grouse, but when I was a kid we called them "partridge" and some people still do.

Looks like a great day! ❄️🪶

Impenetrable beauty that likely signals the end of Minnesota's ruffed grouse hunting season for me.

I’m happy to report an image of mine – two Ruffed Grouse feeding on crab apples - made the cover of the current issue (Winter 2022) of “Covers” magazine, the publication of the Ruffed Grouse Society and the American Woodcock Society.

🌲Home is where the habitat is🌱

Wildlife like American woodcock, ruffed grouse, and a wide range of species depend on forest disturbance to thrive.

If you haven't already, please support RGS & AWS today for #GivingTuesday!

Winter grouse-ouflage!

Camouflaged in plain sight. A Ruffed Grouse displays its amazing cryptic abilities while feeding on crab apples covered in frost.

📣Maine!

[Ruffed Grouse & American Woodcock Society @RGS_AWS]

We (@RGS_AWS) are leading the fourth phase of this project, which was made possible through funding provided from the @minnesotaohf.

Thanks to all our partners who led this project during the first three phases and are still active in its success!

[Ruffed Grouse & American Woodcock Society @RGS_AWS]

Check out this story about the MN Moose Habitat Collaborative, thanks to @wdiowirt!

Why moose? They need similar habitat as ruffed grouse and American woodcock. Goal = high quality habitat and healthy forests for all wildlife!

We love that sonic boom bird!😁

[Bill Marchel @BillMarchel]

Yesterday, I heard and saw a Ruffed Grouse drumming, first of the fall season for me. The incredible drumming sound is made as the bird strikes the air (not the log or its wings) vigorously enough to create a brief vacuum, in effect causing a miniature sonic boom. Amazing!
