Sound on to hear the drumming 🔊 This is the breeding display of the ruffed grouse, the analogue to sage-grouse strutting or sharp-tailed grouse dancing. They are similar to dusky grouse in that they are not in a concentrated lek, but instead form territories. Ruffed grouse will generally find a downed log, their drumming log, and use it to drum on much like a stage. They are not actually hitting the log. But it can sound a little like it if you hear them in person. The sound is just from moving

Often heard, seldom seen. #ruffedgrouse #drumming The male Ruffed Grouse’s unique drumming display takes place from atop a low log, stump, or rock. The deep, thumping sound starts slowly and builds to a blurred crescendo as the bird rapidly rotates his wings back and forth. The drumming sequence lasts 8–10 seconds, during which the wings may beat up to 50 times. Displays are most frequent just before and after sunrise, although they can continue into early evening.

The ruffed grouse is hard to see, but its drumming is a fixture of many spring forests. If you look closely, however, you'll see the male’s signature display doesn’t involve "drumming" on anything but air! © David & Laura Hughes | West Virginia Nature Conservancy

Take a look at this Ruffed Grouse performing its signature drumming display. It’s only drumming on air—when it quickly beats its wings back and forth, air rushes in and creates a small vacuum, which makes a drumming sound that can be heard up to a quarter of a mile away.

Continuing our "Spring is in the Air" Hump Day posts about the fine art of species propagation, this clip features the dramatic courtship presentation of a male Ruffed Grouse as he seeks to impress a potential mate into coital submission. The scene opens hopefully enough, as the male parades for his intended as they stroll alongside one another. But you have to think he's questioning the abrupt under-the-log move, given that she appears startled and immediately exits stage left (though remains n

Ever heard the woods thump to life in spring? 🪵🥁 That deep, rhythmic beat echoing through the forest isn’t a machine—it’s a ruffed grouse drumming to impress. Drumming is how male grouse attract mates, defend their turf and remind us why healthy young forests matter. Keep your ears open this season—you might be closer to a display than you think!

Last of the four Grouse species on my Minnesota Grouse Tour 2025. This Ruffed Grouse started to display before we were set up to video and capture some images, so I used my cell phone. Ya that's right, this is cell phone video. Turn up the sound. What an amazing experiences. What else do you notice different about this bird? #naturesmart #adventurewithkeen #ruffedgrouse #canonusa #wildlifephotography | Stan Tekiela Author Naturalist
