Been taking my English Springer for walks just before dark near Peters Valley each night.. I am amazed of the hundreds of timer doodles flying around doing their mating ritual. The last time Ive seen this was in the late 80's.. The sound of their flight and landing sounds almost like a mini spacecraft... Also this morning heard a male grouse drumming on top of the mountain near my house, I said no way until he drummed again a few minutes later.

Anyone else notice the woodcock activity.. Looking to be a great year.. What ever grouse are around they get the pass for now..

Been seeing them slowly come back since about 2013. Now if I go shed hunting in this one spot by my house, I can usually flush between 3 to 5 every time. And I’m seeing the areas thick with them starting to expand into others as I’ve been flushing birds in spots I’ve never seen them before.

Yes! We have been seeing plenty for a few weeks now.

There are a couple of spots where the grouse seem to be holding their own.

Also have heard a few wild Ringnecks crowing .
