It is shameful it took this long to get them as I live super close to their habitat and have been to it many, many times including locations they are fairly commonly seen. I hope you can get it too soon! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a walk in the woods in the spring and you should have a good chance of feeling their drums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandparents use to have a lot of grouse, they have notice that the population has been declining, but I got the winter before last there, so they are still there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a walk through the trails of my old backyard and you'd have a good chance of actually feeling their wings. Seriously, those suckers would sit hidden along the trail's edge and wait until you were right on top of them before scaring the breakfast out of you when they finally took flight. It wasn't a matter of us spooking the birds, they were definitely the ones doing the spooking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t know the meaning of fear until you’ve been walking through grouse heaven after a heavy snowfall… they just sit under the snow then explode from your feet. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
