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
