I believe Andy Weik is currently the New England region biologist with the Ruffed Grouse Society. His upland expertise now has a regional reach.
I recall moving straggler woodcock on frozen ground December muzzleloader hunts in Maine and seeing flight birds returning while leaving the ice on March ice fishing excursions. They are hardy little buggers belying their fragile appearance. Love their spring song!
