Ruffed Grouse #2 - The mesmerizing mating rituals of ruffed grouse used to be a common sound and sight in Appalachian forests. But changes in habitat, especially older forests, have made it more challenging for these iconic birds to mate, reproduce, and find a steady food supply. From Pennsylvania to Tennessee, we meet with scientists, foresters and landowners on how proactive measures can restore healthy habitat. It's not only good for grouse, but for songbirds, other wildlife, and humans.
