What is the preferred shelter of ruffed grouse?

  1. Dense forests without clearings

  2. Underground burrows

  3. Open areas with sunlight and adjacent coniferous trees

  4. High tree branches away from predators

The correct answer is: Open areas with sunlight and adjacent coniferous trees

The preferred shelter for ruffed grouse is not dense forests without clearings, as they prefer open areas with sunlight and adjacent coniferous trees. Underground burrows are not suitable as they are ground-dwelling birds and do not typically burrow. While high tree branches may provide protection from predators, the ruffed grouse prefers to roost on the ground or in low vegetation.
