Not a Thanksgiving Turkey, but a distant relative: the Sooty Grouse 🦃 The first bird is a female Sooty Grouse making her alarm/defensive calls. At the end you can see the male making his mating calls 🔊 What do these bird sounds remind you of? #birdcall #birdsounds #grouse | Navarre Marshall

Sound on! 🔊 Walk through the forests of Southeast Alaska, and you might hear a deep, low-pitched hooting sound... Look up in the treetops, and you might spot a grouse! In this video, a sooty grouse was lucky to be spotted on the forest floor, filling the forest with a chorus of low hoots. Male grouse can be heard hooting from treetops to attract females during the spring mating season. 🎥NPS Video: Male sooty grouse with vivid yellow eye combs and exposed pink throat patches hoots while walking
