I have long fancied that I had a grouse in residence, although I do know that more than one individual wanders through my yard. Aside from a hen and her chicks, I have only ever seen a single Ruffed Grouse at a time — that is, until yesterday.
I was watching a Ruffed Grouse display an enormously puffed-up breast,
when another grouse wandered by. Seeing a second was a first.
