Informal Ruffed Grouse tail color survey/Aesthetic appreciation

[James L. Martin]

Here in New York's Catskill's mostly brown with maybe 25% greys.

For me hunting in New York's Adirondacks as well as foothills to the south over 40+ years, I've only ever seen gray phase birds. I have heard of the other phases, but never seen any of them.

Here’s a nice cinnamon brown cock bird taken in Vermont’s NEK AT 11 a.m. today by my friend Ken Stowe with his 20 bore 101.
