Catch You Later, Grouse!

The ruffed grouse who came into our care last month with a large wound beneath his wing and head trauma made a full recovery here at VINS.

We returned this woodland bird (often mistakenly called a “partridge”) to the great outdoors last week after a month of expert care here at VINS. See a video of VINS Wildlife Services interns Marie Hammond and Lauren Potter releasing the grouse in Vermont. In the photo above, Potter releases the bird.
