Ruffed grouse are still fairly common around here. Mostly seeing them roost in trees or crossing small roads out on a drive. We also get spruce grouse but those are less common in this area. - Some years back my son and I were chased by a ruffed grouse in our back woods. We heard what sounded like a buzzing set of bees coming our way - we turned and ran 10 feet before seeing a grouse flying at us. We looked back and saw a bunch of chicks scattering and trying to hide in the brush and leaves on the ground! (Local people don't know what a ruffed grouse is - it is all partridge to them!)
Turkey were introduced and now are common most everywhere. We have them in the back field coming out from the small white pines.
We got our snow- 7" it looks like.Really no deeper than the last photo I posted - due to the melt.
A cab would be nice but I can't justify the money for it when there is always someplace to spend the money! I've got a super LLBean coat (rated -40F and I bought some leather bike chaps for leg coverings - 30 bucks from Pakistan! Being retired, I can wait for the temperature to rise and the sun to shine!
