Drumming Grouse

I heard a grouse drumming today near the NYSW railroad. Not many times have I heard a grouse drumming.

There's a lot of wildlife near the railroad. A lot of animals use it as a pathway, and there is a lot of brush and trees nearby to provide habitat. Much of that habitat would have been wiped (cleared) out if the NYRI project had gone through.

There were lots of tables in the NYRI project application, but the loss of the "drumming grouse" was not well conveyed.
