Instrumental Bird Sounds
Birds communicate with a fascinating array of instrumental sounds, and nearly all are made with their feathers or bills. The territorial drumming of a woodpecker - like this Black-backed Woodpecker - is one example. American Crows clatter their beaks to make rattling sounds. And the remarkable drumming of a Ruffed Grouse is produced by a rapid beating of its wings.

Poisonous Birds
The world is full of poisonous creatures. Some butterflies, beetles and frogs use bright colors to warn birds and other predators that they’re full of toxins. But you might be surprised to learn that some birds are poisonous, too. Birds called Hooded Pitohuis carry toxins produced by a beetle that they eat, Ruffed Grouse can pick up a poison from a plant called mountain laurel, and Common Quail sometimes snack on poisonous hemlock.

S.3 Ep.7: The Chess Match
Wildlife habitat is the primary goal for many forest landowners, and in particular forest bird habitat. Silviculture treatments have great potential to provide quality habitat for birds if we know what to look for. Join us on this episode of SilviCast as we take a walk in the woods with Mike Demchik, Professor of Silviculture at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, while we discuss how to recognize the bird habitat elements that are missing in a woods and better integrate those elements into our silvicultural treatments.

All things Ruffed Grouse
In this episode we talk about hunting the king of game birds, ruffed grouse! We reminisce about the good ole days, talk about habitat, West Nile, old stories, and of course, shot size and choke tubes. This was a great conversation that I think a lot of upland hunters will relate to.
