I am doing a research project in elementary school and my question is whether or not turkeys, grouse, pheasants and cottontail rabbits live on Red Ridge near McCall. So I thought it might be a good idea to ask you experts. Thank you, Jack Mcmanus
Answer:
Hi Jack,
I can answer one of those species pretty simply - there are no pheasants that I know of on Red Ridge.
However, it is likely that there are grouse - perhaps blue (now called dusky) grouse and/or ruffed grouse. There may be cottontails, although snowshoe hares are likely more common. And there are likely some turkeys, although probably in low numbers.
If you have any other questions, you can ask them here or call me at the McCall office: 634-8137.
