When I was a kid (50's - 60's) in Eastern KY, they often interfered a lot with our late season grouse hunting in February. Large flocks of them would burst out of patches of vines in the woods where we were trying to jump grouse. More than one was accidently shot. They always seemed to be healthy and large even with the heavy snow we generally had at the time. I always suspected they switched to a seed and berry diet at that time of years and competed with the grouse during that season. They were always healthy looking and around in large numbers.
