Ruffed Grouse

Huh? Did you say something? 

Ruffed Grouse

excerpt from BIRD PORTRAITS IN COLOR: This grouse is unquestionably, from every point of view, the finest upland game bird in North America. If hunted in true sportsman-like fashion, it provides a very special test of skill and as a table bird it certainly has no equal, the flesh being white and tender and with a delicious flavor all its own.
