I live in lower New York, last grouse I have seen local was 2007, the cover is pretty much the same, what's different is the increase in hawks, owls, turkeys, and coyotes. There is also westnile virus I guess. Going to Maine and northern New York this year, hope to find some birds. As to Woodcock last year was the worst I have ever seen hope this year is better.
