Nature Sounds: Stump Thumping, feat. Dan Kusaya (world music and percussion)

A ruffed grouse drums whenever his stage—the stump—isn’t buried too deep in snow. His rapid, frantic wingbeats can reach up to 50 in just 8-10 seconds. Even if his mate isn’t impressed this time, no worries—he may be knocked down, but he’ll get up again!
