Description:
When a ruffed grouse flushes from underfoot, the loud sound can startle even experienced outdoors people. This woodland bird is noted for its muffled drumming sounds during the spring mating season. The ruffed grouse is present in forests from Iowa to Manitoba. For more information, see http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/birds/ruffedgrouse.html.
