Right again! Absolutely amazing
I have heard and recorded these sounds before, always in sight of a beaver's
lodge and
had wrongly assumed the link to be causal, rather than coincidental. I have
never seen a Ruffed Grouse, and honestly did not know they existed until this
moment, but I think their
"song" is now one of my favorites.
Thanks again for the identification
