Awesome picture!! Grouse are very cool 

And if memory serves me right, also very bulletproof when flying in front of your 12 gauge in Potter County, PA.

We have more than you might think, but very isolated into smaller pockets. We lack early successional forest habitat on top of avian flu and other stressors to our ruffed grouse populations. PA and NY regularly cut their public lands forests unlike NJ.
