Podcasts about ruffed

The male Ruffed Grouse stands on a resonant fallen log in the shelter of a brushy thicket, thumping the air with his wings. He raises them and, cupping them forward, beats the air. He's slow at first, then faster, creating a reverberating drum roll. This announces his territory and his desire for a mate. The name "Ruffed" derives from the male's long neck feathers which, in display to the female, flex outward to form a thick neck ruff.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

If you listened to our series on the Feather Thief, or read the book, you are familiar with the Red-ruffed fruitcrow. It was also called the Indian crow in the book. We wanted to follow up the series to talk more in depth about one of the birds that was mentioned so much, and it was pretty fascinating to learn more about this bird that actually has not been researched much. As always, its our hosts and married couple John Bates and Shannon Hackett who are curators of birds at the Field Museum, along with amateur birders RJ Pole and Amanda Marquart. Please send us your questions for us to answer as well!

In a landscape of winter white, bits of color really pop. Recently I was on the North Shore of Minnesota when they received several inches of fluffy, wonderful snow. The forest seemed decked out for Christmas with clusters of bright red mountain-ash berries adding color in the woods along the ski trails, around town, and on the rocky shore of Lake Superior. Ruffed grouse appreciate them even more, I'm sure, as they perch in the dark purple twigs and nibble both berries and buds. And now the trees have given me a bit of a mystery to nibble on too...

So how smart are lemurs, exactly? How do we even start to figure that out? Meet Ray Vagell, researcher and graduate student from Texas State University who uses SMARTA (a custom-designed touch screen system) to study how lemurs solve problems at the Duke Lemur Center. We also discuss the fun – but mysterious – fact that only female ruffed lemurs have color vision. Ray also uses SMARTA to study ruffed lemur vision, and how his research has become enrichment for some ruffed lemurs who love pushing playing with the device. Sometimes they even find ways to cheat the system!  Ray’s research website – CLICK HERE Ruffed lemurs using SMARTA (video) – CLICK HERE Ray's published work on the SMARTA system (article) – CLICK HERE

Dr. Andrea Baden and her team have spent a lot of time in the rainforests of eastern Madagascar learning about the social lives of ruffed lemurs. In this episode, she shares why it takes a village to run a ruffed lemur kindergarten, how art photography led to her career in primatology, and how ruffed lemurs adapted to climate change. Socially, ruffed lemurs are one of the weirdest lemurs out there, and Dr. Baden is the perfect person to explain the method to their social madness.   Dr. Baden's Lab Homepage – CLICK HERE Dr. Baden's research paper on nesting ruffed lemurs – CLICK HERE Dr. Baden's research paper on fission-fusion social dynamics in ruffed lemurs – CLICK HERE

What is the difference between a ruffed grouse and a partridge? The answer lies in physics; one is flying, and one is not.  Jokes aside, ruffed grouse stand as one of the most challenging birds to hit on the wing. I credit this more to do with their habitat than anything else. Ruffed grouse reside in dense foliage, shrubs, young trees, and conifers near water in many forms, whether a river, stream, pond, or bog.  George Bird Evans said in The Upland Shooting Life, “I know of no bird shooting that offers so few hits for shells fired and, other than turkey hunting, so few chances to shoot as does grouse shooting, unless you indulge in idiot shots.” 

This week, Richard and I are joined by special guest Dr. Ben Jones.  Ben is President and CEO of the Ruffed Grouse Society & American Woodcock Society. RGS & AWS unites conservationists to improve wildlife habitat and forest health for ALL forest wildlife. We promote forest stewardship for our forests, our wildlife and our future. We envision landscapes of diverse, functioning forest ecosystems that provide homes for wildlife and opportunities for people to experience them. Ruffed grouse and American woodcock are bellwethers of forest condition - they can only persist in healthy, diverse forests. These same forests clean the air, filter water, and support local communities. Working forests work for wildlife!   RGS/AWS website: https://ruffedgrousesociety.org   RGS Migration Mapping: https://ruffedgrousesociety.org/migration-map/

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/373 Presented By: FishHound Expeditions, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Range Meal Bars, Angler's Coffee Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Nick Larson, Host of the Birdshot Podcast, gives us a bird hunting 101 today. We break down the types of birds you can target, where to find them, and their differences in behavior. He tells us what is the best shotgun to get started with, some useful tips to maintain your composure while shooting, and which gun to get next as you become a more experienced hunter.  We discover how to hunt birds with or without dogs and how OnX maps change the game for upland bird hunting. Nick also shares the story of how he started his podcast which was not far from when we started our podcast too. Upland Bird Hunting Show Notes with Nick Larson 04:30 - Nick Larson's got a podcast - Birdshot Podcast 05:20 - Nick used to hunt upland birds without a dog - he tells us how dogs change the game 06:40 - Nick mentioned our episode with Terry Kluke at WFS 356 where we covered fly fishing and hunting in Ontario. Nick fished a lot in Ontario. 08:45 - They've got sharp-tailed grouse, ruffed grouse, pheasants, wood cock, prairie chickens, and spruced grouse 10:30 - Nick tells us how to get started with hunting - google a bird species and the state you're in, for ex: ruffed grouse Minnesota. Make sure you secure a hunting license from DNR and pay attention to the state rules and limits. Ruffed Grouse Management Area is a good resource to learn more about ruffed grouse hunting in Minnesota. 16:15 - Ruffed grouse season starts mid-September in Minnesota 18:20 - The best month to hunt grouse is the last 2 weeks of October and the first 2 weeks of November 20:15 - Nick has a friend with a grouse camp in Minnesota - Pineridge Grouse Camp 20:50 - Their firearms dear season usually starts the first Saturday of November 22:45 - Nick's got a hunt coming up in North Dakota and will primarily hunt sharp-tailed grouse 23:30 - Another bonus bird that they get a chance to hunt is the Hungarian Partridge - a non-native species 35:45 - Tip for sharp-tailed grouse: If your dog is on point, you're walking in and a bird flushes, keep walking until you see the group of birds. Don't shoot right away. 39:40 - Wingshooting is a term that is used as a broader term to include Waterfowl hunting or Dove hunting. Upland hunting generally refers to the upland game birds which are grouse, quail, pheasants, or Hungarian partridge, etc. 42:25 - Nick works for Upland Gun Company and they sell a very specific kind of gun. He doesn't recommend their gun if you're just getting started with hunting. 44:15 - He recommends a Remington 870 Express for beginners 45:50 - Nick likes a double gun, also known as an over/under, side by side, or a break-action gun.

Throwing it back to host Todd Helms' roots with episode 61… Ruffed grouse in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Kyle Warren of Paint River Llewellins in Ironwood, Michigan. Kyle breeds and trains Llewellin setters and is a wealth of information on dogs in general. We've never heard scenting and scent cones described in as much detail or understood them better than after our chat with Kyle. We also 100% agree with Kyle's take on owning the “right” dog and how breeders can help make that decision easier. Todd did that with Hondo and it was a very good decision. If you're an upland hunter or a dog person this is a can't miss episode.

This week we dive into disturbance ecology, looking at whole-forest health by zeroing in on the ruffed grouse. Grouse populations in some areas have experienced stark declines in recent decades. Some scientists call ruffed grouse a bellwether species -- what's good for the grouse is generally good for the forest. We talk about the difference between preservation and conservation, the mosaic make-up of healthy forests, and the potential of forests to be carbon sinks. 2:00 The Ruffed Grouse Society on Facebook - @RuffedGrouseSociety, Twitter  - @rgs_aws, Instagram - @ruffedgrousesociety   3:00 Artemis Tennessee Deer Camp… stay tuned for the full story! 4:30 Ashley Peters, @grouse.lady 6:00 R3 conference in Minnesota + other programs for getting women into hunting 7:00 Merry Grouse-mas! 10:00 “Glunting”… like glamping, but for hunting… “Glamor is relative” 12:00 In windy grouse hunting conditions it helps to use sight over scent 15:00 Grouse mating display & their bass-y drumming sound (OR, what European settlers puzzled over as some strange ghostly heartbeat of the land) 19:00 Grouse as a bellwether for whole forest health 20:00 “Conservation Is Behavior” 21:00 Ruffed grouse listed as a species of greatest concern in 19 states & a decline in diverse healthy forests 24:00 Healthy forests: A variety of age classes and species, which help bolster a forest's resilience against threats like pests, drought, fire, etc 28:00 In places with fragmented land ownership, conservation goals depend on collaboration 33:00 If all the public lands in the U.S. were lumped together, how would it compare (in size) to other countries of the world? ....[insert jeopardy music]... it'd be the TENTH (hypothetical) largest country in the world 35:00 Forest disturbances then and now; Disturbance-dependent species like grouse 40:00 Grouse stay in a relatively small proximity for most their lives compared to most birds 41:00 "Managing the landscape in a mosaic is the gold standard" 44:00 Healthy forests...

Maybe you've seen this animal at a trip to Madagascar or in a certain animated movie; nevertheless, they're amazing little creatures! They also have a unique physiology when it comes to iron absorption which leads us to ask 'How much we have to learn yet about wild animal nutrition?'

Outfitter Tim Linehan joins Reid from the remote Yaak Valley of northwest Montana to discuss wild places and wild birds. Tim and Joanne Linehan have been operating a hunting and fishing business for nearly 30 years in one of the most remote communities in the Lower 48. The Yaak is home to huntable populations of Ruffed, Spruce, and Blue (Dusky) grouse, all of which occur in a vast and untrammeled wilderness. Tim and Reid discuss hunting and living in a remote place, and the cover types that the three species frequent. Enjoy!

Let's face it, the hunting season is too short to miss a day due to unfavorable weather. If you wait for the perfect day to come, you may shorten your season to just a handful of lucky days when the crisp autumn air rustles through the golden leaves which have been drained of chlorophyll and are ready to join their counterparts on the forest floor.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.21.260679v1?rss=1 Authors: Vaglio, S., Kaburu, S., Young, C., Pearce, R., Smith, S., Tompkins, B. E., Elwell, E., Fontani, S., Marliani, G., Accorsi, P. A. Abstract: Almost half of the primate species recognized today worldwide are classified as endangered or critically endangered in the wild. Captive breeding is vital for primate conservation, with modern zoos serving a crucial role as breeders of populations acting as buffers against extinction, ambassadors of endangered species, and educators of the general public. However, captive populations may experience welfare issues that may also undermine their breeding success. In order to design and test a new scent enrichment programme to enhance the breeding success and well-being of critically endangered zoo primates, we carried out a preliminary study to assess the effects of lavender on captive red-ruffed lemurs ( Varecia rubra ) and Lar gibbons ( Hylobates lar ) as these species presently show a low success rate in captive breeding and are critically endangered in the wild. We combined behavioural observations and faecal endocrinology analyses to assess the effects of lavender on two captive troops (N = 8) housed at Dudley Zoo and Castle (UK). We recorded observations of natural species-specific and abnormal stress-related behaviours for 144 hr using instantaneous scan sampling. We collected 78 faecal samples and measured the faecal cortisol concentrations using radioimmunoassay. We found a significant effect by the scent enrichment on social interactions and stress-related behaviours (i.e., pacing and self-scratching), with both species reducing their rates of stress-related behaviours after they were exposed to lavender. We also found that both species displayed a significant increase in faecal glucocorticoids following the exposure to lavender. Our findings suggest that lavender may work as scent enrichment to decrease the stress levels of zoo primates across the major lineages, but its effects might change depending on the species-specific social lives and olfactory repertoires of primates.

Red Ruffed Lemurs are a critically endangered primate from the island of Madagascar. These highly charismatic animals are an example of the pressures many species are facing on this island nation. Due to habitat degradation and other human caused pressures, Madagascar is now recognized as one of the worst biodiversity crises we find ourselves in. However, many organizations are working extremely hard to ensure these lemurs and the other species on the island survive.  Patreon: Please considering supporting us at Patreon HERE.
