The Ruffed Grouse | Drummer Bird

One of 10 species of grouse native to North America, seeing the secretive Ruffed grouse, can be a little difficult. In fall though you may spot one balancing on limbs of alders as they forage buds or you may hear one in the morning drumming. The name “ruffed” comes from the long, shiny, black or chocolate colored neck feathers that are most prominent on the male.
