Have you ever walked in the woods and heard a mysterious thumping sound, like someone trying to start an old engine that won’t quite turn over? You probably heard the unique behavior of a ruffed grouse drumming! Starting around this time of year, male ruffed grouse will jump up on a log, stump or rock and drum.

Our staff recently encountered a “tame” ruffed grouse at Leyden WMA. On rare occasions, grouse have been documented closely following people and cars, or acting aggressively.

They are similar to dusky grouse in that they are not in a concentrated lek, but instead form territories. Ruffed grouse will generally find a downed log, their drumming log, and use it to drum on much like a stage. They are not actually hitting the log.

Meet the ruffed grouse! Ruffed grouse are the most widely distributed resident game bird in North America, found in 39 U.S. States and all Canadian provinces.
