Plate 7. An aerial view of a portion of the Connecticut Hill submarginal farm- 

 ing area well illustrates the broken nature of this type of grouse range. Woodland 

 is interspersed with open fields, the fencerows and woods margins are generally 

 brushy. Some of the abandoned fields are being reclaimed by woody vegetation. 

 Note the woodland clearings (squares) and lanes in lower part of area. These 

 are grouse management cuttings.
