      Every spring here. When I first moved here I had never heard the ruffed grouse drumming before and when I heard them I thought it was some neighbor have trouble getting his tractor started! Posted 5 years ago

        How cool! I find them absolutely gorgeous with their complex earth tones. Posted 5 years ago

          I found a dead one once and so got a close look at all its feathers and was surprised to see some almost emerald green ones. Posted 5 years ago

        Even though I hear them in the spring (and no longer mistake them for a tractor with engine troubles) I have yet to see them drumming. Posted 5 years ago
