Issue Report on
Rufed Grouse
In State of. Maine

Maine sportsmen who enjoy going
into the covers after the Ruffed
Grouse during the open season each
Fall little realize the extent of the
work which has been carried on
during the past few years in an at
tempt to save this splendid game
bird, which from time to time has
been threatened with determination.
The report of the New England
Ruffed Grouse Investigation Com
mittee, which was received at the
office of Hon. Willis S. Parsons,
Commissioner of Inland Fisheries
and Game, gives a very comprehen-
sive idea of this form of game con-
much light on a subject with which
the average Maine sportsmen is not
as familiar as he ought to be.
Alfred o. Gross, Phi. D., of Bow
dom College was in charge of the
investigation, and in his report says
in part:
ut has long been known that
there are periodic fluctuations In
the number of grouse. The numbers
gradually increase over a definite
period of years until they seem
abundant in every locality favorable
for their existence. Then suddenly
and Unexpectedly the numbers drop
in certain localities until compare
lively few birds are to be found.
There has usually been a full re-
covery from these adverse condi-
tions and in time the birds were back
to normal numbers. In recent years.
however, the decrease has been so
great and the recovery in many
cases so incomplete that it is caus-
ing considerable concern to orni-
biologists and sportsmen throughout
the country. There is no immediate
danger for the Ruffed Grouse. but
we wish to secure all of the infor-
nation possible concerning this bird
while we are able to secure an
abundance of material. with the hope
that we may assist in preventing
periods of scarcity"
The report also gives credit to
Ralph f. Kierstead, a graduate of
France, a senior at Bowdoin who are
doing good work both in the field
and in the laboratory in connection
with the investigation.
Mr.. Cross says:
I'm order to make this work COM
pletely successful it is necessary to
have the cooperation of all sports
men throughout New England. We
need frequent and complete reports
concerning the grouse of your sec
ton of the country, and above all
we need specimens of birds for
study and pathological examination.
Although we wish to receive the
crop, stomach, liver and intestines,
parts you discard. from every bird
killed, the entire birds both normal
and diseased are of the greatest i'm
portance in our work Birds which
appear normal to the casual observer
may have disease present in an in
