Back of card caption:
Ruffed Grouse - (Bonasa umbellus)
"The Ruffed Grouse is about the size of a Bantam Rooster and is found in all woodlands of our northern states and in Canada from the Maritime Provinces to Alaska. In our eastern states it goes south to Georgia in the mountains. The nest is a few dead leaves scraped together and may contain from 8 - 14 buffy eggs, sometimes with brown speckles. The little downy chicks can run about for food at once. During the mating season, April and May, the male makes a curious drumming sound by rapidly beating his wings against the air as he stands erect on a log or stone. The grouse eats seeds, berries, buds and insects. It is a wild, shy bird, but thrives in the neighborhood of man if not too much distrubed."
Paint Palette Icon mid About the Artist - Lynn Bogue Hunt (b. 1878)
Angler, hunter, and above all artist, Lynn Bogue Hunt was the most popular and prolific outdoor illustrator in mid-20th century America. He painted a record 106 covers for Field & Stream in addition to numerous covers for other publications; illustrated dozens of books on waterfowling, upland bird hunting, and saltwater fishing (not coincidentally, his three main interests as a sportsman); and published several portfolios of his paintings to enormous acclaim.

Martini Glass 1 He was a bon vivant, too. Perpetually tanned and angularly handsome, he cut a dashing figure in any company. He was as comfortable twisting a lemon peel into a martini at a poolside cocktail party as he was rigging a complicated trolling bait on the deck of a pitching sport fisherman.
