Rod photographed this Ruffed Grouse in the the Museum’s Hall of North American Forests. 

Each of the Museum’s habitat dioramas depicts a scene from a real place, cast in the light of a particular time of day. These re-creations are based on meticulous observations of scientists in the field and the on-site sketches of the artists who accompanied them. This particular diorama depicts Sunset Hill on the eastern shore of Sunapee Lake in New Hampshire in early October.
