Wilson's Snipe and Ruffed Grouse


Early Sunday morning I birded Muskegon State Game Area at Messenger Road.  I was at the yellow gate at 6:15 a.m.  At 6:30 I heard Wilson's Snipe calling.  When it got light enough to see, I started slowly walking to the west on the south side of the Maple River.  At 7:10 I heard my first Ruffed Grouse drumming.  After that there were two more drumming at different locations.
