Reply to comment by gggg500 in We have been misled. We do not have a state animal, but two state amphibians. by Razoray20

Never seen a grouse in pa? City life?

the population isn’t what it was 10-15 years ago but I’ve noticed in the area I live they are coming back with the clear cuts.

No I grew up in a very small town (Lock Haven). Lived here in central Pa over 30 years. I’ve been in Harrisburg for the last 7 years. Seen bald eagle, 6-foot wingspan Turkey vultures up close, just regular old Turkey flocks up close, those big tall white herons, seagulls, all kinds of other random birds (hummingbirds, blue jays). Just never seen a Ruffed Grouse. Not once, ever.

Damn! I know at least two people from up in Marsh Crick. That is such a small area up there I almost guarantee you’d know them. I was only ever up in Marsh Crick once myself though. And I had some relatives on my gram’s side who lived there a long time ago (like about 100 years ago). I’ll message you the names maybe you’ll know them lol
