“The ruffed grouse is a popular and unforgettable resident.  Its ‘drumming’ during courtship is one of nature’s most distinctive phenomena.” “In the painting a male of the red [color] phase is depicted, while the female is a variant tending toward the grey phase.  Distinguishing tints can be observed in both the tail and body feathers.”

This is a registered lithograph from the famous Richard Sloan collection series of wildlife paintings.  Mr. Sloan is recognized as the world’s finest for his attention to detail and authenticity of background settings.
