What you need to know for Monday morning.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission and Penn State are looking into ruffed grouses that aren’t easily getting their feathers ruffled.and want people to let them know if they see any of the wild birds acting tame.
“The research aims to determine whether the commonwealth’s grouse population shows signs of splitting up into distinct subpopulations and if ‘tame’ behavior is linked to genetics,” the game commission said in a news release. That information can help with habitat management. The ruffed grouse’s name comes from “a ruff of iridescent black feathers” around its neck. It can be an awkward name to remember, but it’s not the ruffled or rippled or riffed grouse.
If you encounter one this spring that doesn’t seem to mind you, send the game commission an email with all the details:
