On the ruffed grouse

Part of the J. B. Lippincott Co. "Living World" series (published in the 1970s), The World of the Ruffed Grouse is a concise and readable overview of the life history of one of the most elusive of game birds. The text is not overly dense and laced with scientific jargon, and there are numerous photos (unfortunately all are b & w) to illustrate various features and characteristics of the bird. All in all, a suitable book for amatuer birders such as myself.
