Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) - a photo on Flickriver

            Whenever I have seen Ruffed Grouses they are usually feeding on aspen buds, a major winter-time food source for them. I am always amazed how skillfully they move on the thin branches that barely support their weight. Ruffed Grouses actually spend most of their time on the ground.
