If you want to hear the hollow-sounding thump of a grouse on your land, or just in your own imagination, this beautifully written picture of a year in the life of a grouse (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter) will help you understand the habits, habitat, and curious world of this intriguing bird—a bird who grows “snowshoes” for winter, prefers a “stage” for drumming, likes to drum in dense stands of pole-sized saplings where goshawks can’t easily swoop, and resorts to diving into snow banks to escape the worst of winter’s cold.
