I’m sure pheasants are as resourceful as ruffed grouse as I’ve had them burst up from beneath the snow the morning after a snowstorm in my youth some sixty years ago.
This picture is from two weeks ago in Vermont when a friend who was out snowshoeing when this grouse made good his thunderous escape.
