What kind of water habitat do ruffed grouse require?

  1. Deep lakes

  2. Fast-flowing rivers

  3. Muddy marshlands

  4. Nearby surface water, like creeks or ponds

The correct answer is: Nearby surface water, like creeks or ponds

Ruffed grouse are primarily terrestrial birds but they do require access to nearby water sources for drinking and bathing. Deep lakes would not be suitable for the grouse as they prefer shallow water. Fast-flowing rivers may be too turbulent for them. While muddy marshlands may provide water, they are not the preferred habitat for the grouse and may not have enough open space for the birds to forage for food. Thus, option D is the most suitable for the ruffed grouse.
