Hi All=2C

   When I looked out the kitchen window this morning there was a Ruffed Gro=
use in full display for a female who seemed disinterested and ignored the s=
trutting male.

   It's the first time I've seen this mating ritual and I have a couple of =
questions about it. We are months from Ruffed Grouse breeding season so is =
the timing unusual or do they display all year round? Secondly how is this =
recorded in the atlas? Could I record it as a D or is it too early and if s=
o which breeding season would it get recorded to: 2009 or 2010? All the bes=
t.=20
