Nice to hear. But, all of my experiences with Grouse are indicative of their complete stupidity, or maybe they are just in a world of their own, totally unaware of the real environment around them.

I remember camping in southwestern Alberta and falling asleep to the sound of these drummers and thinking it was some sort of a water pump starting. Once I knew what the sound was I started looking for them on logs and saw the grouse in action. It is so cool to see and hear. Now we live next to the forest and have ruffed grouse living in our backyard all winter. There are plenty of logs back there but I've never heard one drum. They seem to disappear in the spring and return in the fall.

Hey Martha, I was an intern at Hawk Mt. Sanctuary. back in the 1990s .it was my first experience hearing this...the thump is soooo low I didn't know what it was ..I thought it was percussions of the expresso that I brewed for 4am wake -up call. LOL!

@warbler77 don't agree but a video would certainly be better than the stills
