the hazel grouse, also known as the hazel hen, is a small member of the grouse family found across the palearctic as far east as hokkaido, and as far west as central europe. as is typical for gamebirds, the female (hen) raises a clutch of 3-6 chicks without assistance from the male. they prefer damp deciduous forest habitat, preferably with a high percentage of spruce. they primarily feed on plants with the exception of a heavy increase in insect consumption during the breeding season. the sexes can be distinguished by a few features; males have a short erectile crest (shorter in females), and a white-bordered black throat that females lack.

Have you ever seen a Spruce Grouse (Canachites canadensis)? Known for their tameness around humans, these birds inhabit a wide range across North America’s forests including parts of Canada and the United States. Vibrantly-colored males use their plumage in courtship displays: They can snap their tail feathers open with a whooshing sound, swish from side to side, and “dance” to attract the attention of mates.

My northern cousin thinks he's "greater". But which one of us is the archnemesis of Republican politicians and oil barons? That's right—ME.

the dusky grouse is a grouse species native to the rocky mountains of north america. they were formerly considered conspecific with the sooty grouse; they were referred to as the ‘blue grouse’ as a single species. the dusky grouse thrives in habitats rich with conifers. during harsh winter months, they primarily feed off of fir needles; in summer months, their diet diversifies to include summer perennials, berries, and insects. dusky grouse chicks are insectivorous for the first few weeks of their life. males can easily be distinguished from females by their purple air sacs on the neck, used for breeding displays; during breeding season, they also display a bright wattle over the eye. females are a lighter mottled gray, and males are a darker grayish-brown.
