The capercaillie is one of the oldest birds on Earth. These birds usually live in dense pine forests and swamps. The wood grouse song is witchcraft. There is no sonority in it, it does not flow. It has a creaky wooden rhythm, amazing dull power, and a special wild beauty. A black forest rooster tramples on a gnarled branch, unfurls his wide fan of tail with a bone-like thud; His crimson eyebrows swell from the hot blood, and his black beard bristles and shakes. He doesn’t sing, but seems to be selflessly casting spells and muttering spells. This song has an inexplicable power. She lifts the hunter out of bed, leads him into the black, wary forest, and the bewitched hunter, as if wound up, jumps, walks, and freezes on one leg. The song enchants him, the song commands him: he is a prisoner of the song until it is finished. 1) Underline the participles as part of the sentence; indicate their suffixes. 2) Write down three words with the spelling at the root, label the root. Write the test word, if there is one.

Having finished his business in the motorized rifle unit in half a day, Tretyakov found some kind of funnel filled with water in the forest. Taking off his cap, dark brown from dust and sweat, he knelt down. A wisp of white cloud slid across the mirror of water, and Tretyakov saw himself in it. Not he himself, but someone black, like a gypsy, unfamiliar, was looking at him. The cheeks were of an indefinite dark color from the dust that had accumulated in the grown stubble; the sunken eyes were outlined in black... Tretyakov drove to the edge the shrunken leaves that had fallen on the water and a water beetle that was jumping weightlessly on thin spider legs. The water, like on a peat bog, looked brown, but when he scooped it into his palm, it turned out to be clear and cold. He hadn’t washed his face like this for a long time; he even pulled his tunic off his shoulders.
Now Tretyakov felt clean and refreshed.
The sky turned blue, no one’s steps were heard, and only in the distance the incessant roar of cannonade barely rumbled.

It’s rare that a person will remain indifferent to the sight of a sailboat gliding across the water in the distance.
Now, even for a moment, it is difficult to imagine the complexity of controlling a sailing ship.
The heyday of the sailing fleet occurred in the second half of the eighteenth century. Nikolai Korneevich Chukovsky talks about the great discoveries of Russian sailors of that time in his truly amazing book “Frigate Drivers”.
The writer speaks with childish enthusiasm about what resourcefulness, what precise knowledge one had to have in order to confidently control a giant frigate with up to two hundred sails. Any wrong move could lead to disaster. Often you had to wander at random through unknown waters, never knowing what awaited you ahead.
The wooden bottoms of the ships were rotting and overgrown with shells, but still thousands of miles remained behind, the waves were still hitting the sides, the location of the constellations in the sky was changing...
Subsequently, with the invention of steamships, the art of sailing began to decline.

Let's talk about grandmothers.
Let's talk about old people - about our own grandmothers.
Oh this grandma! He gets bored, considers him small, forces him to eat when he doesn’t want to. He interferes in everything, makes comments even in front of the guys. It wraps up when everyone in the yard has been running around naked for a long time. Otherwise he will come to school in the rain and stand with a raincoat and an umbrella, only disgracing him. Well, what to do with such a grandmother? And then you feel ashamed for your rudeness, but it’s hard to restrain yourself. It’s as if a spring is compressing inside and wants to straighten out, push out objections.
Do you know what to do with grandma? We must forgive. How much does she forgive you? To endure is a close person. Take care, protect. Even if she considers you small and helpless, you know that in many ways you are stronger than her, healthier, faster. No, not because she “gives her life” to you. Simply because your grandmother has less time to live than you, and because old age is a rather heavy and sad burden of life. Everything of her own, personal, is behind her - care, joy, anxiety, interesting life, hope. And only you are her only concern, her last joy, her constant anxiety, her main life interest, her secret hope.
And then, each age has its own characteristics. So they are the old people - grumbling, remembering the past, teaching. You won’t be offended by an infant if he screams. This is his age feature.
It’s hard for you to imagine yourself old now, but try anyway.

Voronov walked alone along a brightly lit street, and this loneliness surprised and frightened him.
He looked at the shop windows, but did not distinguish anything in them due to an incomprehensible anxiety that gripped him. Then I heard distant footsteps. Someone's heels were tapping rhythmically on the sidewalk. A man was walking towards me from afar. It seemed to Voronov that when he saw him, the man slowed down. Without knowing why, Voronov also walked slower. The man put his right hand in his pocket. Voronov automatically did the same. (...)
The man was now walking very slowly. Voronov's nerves were extremely tense during this entire time. When only a few meters separated them, the man suddenly jumped onto the pavement, crossed it and quickly walked away along the opposite side of the street. Voronov looked after him with relief and involuntarily laughed... No one was going to attack anyone. But both were afraid...

Tropics... The silence and warmth of the night are inexpressibly pleasant. Not a breeze, not a cloud. The sky is free from clouds, and from there, as if from the openings of some illuminated temple, millions of lights sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow, just as our stars never sparkle. How passionately, ardently they shine! This picture of the sky, always playing and seemingly speaking in an incomprehensible language, cannot tire of the eyes. You will go out for half an hour to breathe in the night air, but you will stand in numbness for two or three hours, not taking your eyes off the sky for a minute. Everyone wants to find out what this flickering hints at, what meaning comes out of these mysterious, incomprehensible speeches. And you will leave without explaining anything, but you will leave in some kind of cloud of thought...
But no matter how you get used to the beauties of the tropics, you involuntarily direct your thoughts to your distant homeland.

Natalya Savishna
Ever since I can remember, I remember Natalya Savishna, her love and affection; but now I only know how to appreciate them. It never occurred to me then what a rare, wonderful creature this old woman was. She not only never spoke, but also did not think, it seems, about herself. Her whole life was love and self-sacrifice. I was so used to her unselfish, tender love that I could not imagine that it could be otherwise. And he never asked questions: is she happy? Are you satisfied?
Sometimes, under the pretext of a necessary need, you would run from class to her room, sit down and begin to dream out loud, not at all embarrassed by her presence. She was always busy with something: knitting a stocking, rummaging through the chests that filled her room, and, listening to my nonsense every time, she said: “Yes, my father, yes!”
The chests that filled her room contained absolutely everything. Whatever was needed, they usually said: “You need to ask Natalya Savishna.” After rummaging around a little, she would find the desired item and say: “It’s good that I hid it.” In these chests there were thousands of items that no one in the house except her knew or cared about.
One time I got angry with her. Later she brought me a gift and handed it to me with a trembling hand. I did not have the strength to look the kind old lady in the face. I turned away and accepted the gift, and tears flowed even more abundantly, but not from anger, but from love and shame.

The largest and most noble bird of all the black grouse birds is considered to be the capercaillie. It is distinguished by its clumsiness, heavyness and timidity, fast gait and heavy and noisy flight. This bird is not capable of flying long distances. The forests of North Asia were the habitat of wood grouse.
But excessive hunting for them has taken its toll, and in many regions where there used to be a lot of wood grouse, it is now possible not to see a single one. Birds have now settled in, but in Europe there are now fewer and fewer of them, and in the countries of Africa and Australia, in places where there used to be a lot of them, they are completely absent.
Capercaillie majestic and beautiful bird. It feels strong and resilient. Description of the capercaillie has a beautiful color, most often an upturned beak, a lush, fan-like tail that makes you involuntarily admire this spectacle.
A certain clumsiness complements the image and gives it some charm. When searching for food, wood grouse can move very quickly. When it takes off from the ground in flight, a noise and loud fluttering of its wings can be heard.
The capercaillie flies heavily and noisily. Without special need, he does not cover long distances and does not rise too high. Basically, its flight occurs at the height of half the average tree. But if the need arises and the capercaillie needs to move significantly, then it rises to fly high above the forest.
A male capercaillie can be easily distinguished from a female due to the color of its plumage. In males, gray, dark blue and richer tones of color predominate, while females are characterized by a reddish, variegated plumage color. You can admire them endlessly, they are so beautiful and majestic.
Features and habitat of the capercaillie
Bird of the forest prefers tall conifers, as well as mixed ones. You can rarely find them in deciduous trees. A swampy area full of various wild berries is one of the favorite habitats of wood grouse.
Basically, wood grouse prefer to lead a sedentary lifestyle. Seasonal movements from the forest to the valley and back occur very rarely; this happens mainly during severe frosts. The wood grouse's nest can be seen immediately under a tree, not far from roads or paths.
Such carelessness often leads to the death of their brood and even the female at the hands of humans. The female capercaillie is a wonderful and true mother, even if she feels danger to herself, she will never leave her offspring, but will die along with them. There were cases when she walked towards danger, straight into the hands of the enemy, giving the chicks the opportunity to escape.
The character and lifestyle of the capercaillie
The capercaillie is very cautious, possessing perfect hearing and vision. Therefore, hunting him is not very easy. Can behave aggressively if he sees an unfamiliar animal next to him. There have been cases when a capercaillie attacked a dog.
The gathering places of wood grouse rarely change. As a rule, the males are the first to flock to them, climb onto the branches and begin to sing their serenades for the females. Some time passes, the females will join them. Then the most interesting part begins - the fight for females. The fights can be very serious and brutal, after which the winner gets the right to mate with the female.
Basically, this bird prefers solitude; large gatherings are not for them. Morning and evening are their waking hours. During the daytime, they most often rest in trees.
In the winter season, when it is very cold outside, a capercaillie can hide from the frost in the snow and stay there for a couple of days. Birds black grouse and capercaillie They are very similar in their behavior and way of life, it’s not for nothing that they belong to one big family. They differ only in size and color.
Male wood grouse with females
Wood grouse feeding
Wood grouse are big fans of coniferous cones and twigs. If this delicacy is not near them, flowers, buds, leaves, grass and various seeds are great options. Chicks, during their growth, can feed on insects and spiders; for this, the entire family settles next to the anthill.
Adult wood grouse prefer plant foods. In winter, when everything around is covered with snow, these birds spend most of their time on trees, feeding on their branches and bark.
Reproduction and lifespan of wood grouse
About the capercaillie bird they are said to be polygamous. The concept of forming a couple is completely absent for them. Spring is a favorable time for marriage. Mating between a female and a male lasts about a month.
Capercaillie nest with chicks
After this, wood grouse prepare nests for their future offspring. These birds don’t bother too much about building nests. The wood grouse's nest is an ordinary small depression in the ground, covered with branches or leaves.
The average number of eggs is 8 pieces, their size resembling the average egg. Females incubate them for about a month. The chick can follow its mother as soon as it is dry after birth.
The fluff of newborn chicks is clearly not enough to keep them warm and comfortable, so this issue is dealt with by a caring mother who is ready to give the chicks all her warmth.
A month is enough for the rapid growth and development of chicks. After this time, they move from the nest to the trees and begin their independent life.
Almost 80% of eggs die due to severe frosts or from predators such as foxes, martens or stoats. 40-50% of hatched chicks suffer a similar fate. The average lifespan of a capercaillie in its normal habitat is 12 years.
Why was the bird called wood grouse?
Interesting fact is that the capercaillie temporarily loses its hearing during mating, which is where their name comes from. How does it happen that a bird that is always quite cautious loses its hearing, and therefore its vigilance?
Opinions differ on this matter. Some argue that when singing their serenades, the capercaillie strongly uses its upper and lower beaks. The singing attracts the bird to such an extent that it temporarily forgets about everything, including danger.
Others say that in an excited capercaillie, blood rushes to the head, the blood vessels swell and the ear canals close. This version arose as a result of the fact that everyone sees how the upper part of the head of a singing, excited capercaillie swells up.
There are versions that during mating the capercaillie becomes deaf from nervous overexcitation. Buy a capercaillie bird It turns out it's not very simple. It is almost impossible to tame them and make them domestic. In captivity it reproduces very poorly.
The capercaillie is one of the oldest birds on earth. These birds usually live in dense pine forests and swamps. They nest on the ground and in trees. They usually stick to the places where they hatched. In snowy winters, late in the evening, wood grouse fall from the trees into a snowdrift and spend the night there. In snowy winters, late in the evening, wood grouse fall from the trees into a snowdrift and spend the night there.
Wood grouse chicks hatch in late May - early June. Eggs are laid on the ground, in a hole, where moss, small branches and feathers are brought. They hatch like chickens for three weeks. The babies, barely dry, follow their parents and soon begin to feed on flies, ants, and berries themselves. Only the mother leads the chicks. She also teaches them to get food and bury themselves in the grass in a moment of danger.

The capercaillie is one of the oldest birds on Earth. These birds usually live in dense pine forests and swamps. They nest on the ground and in trees. They usually stick to the places where they hatched. In snowy winters, late in the evening, wood grouse fall from the trees into a snowdrift and spend the night there. An amazing sight - birds flying out from under the snow. You go skiing, there is a milky expanse all around, snowflakes sparkle in the sun. And suddenly a flock of birds bursts out from under your feet with a loud flapping of wings, as if a tarpaulin is being torn to pieces nearby. And snow dust fills my eyes.
Wood grouse chicks hatch in late May - early June. Eggs are laid on the ground, in a hole, where moss, small branches and feathers are brought. They hatch like chickens for three weeks. The babies, barely dry, follow their parents and soon begin to feed on flies, ants, and berries themselves. Only the mother leads the chicks. She also teaches them to get food and bury themselves in the grass in a moment of danger.
Favorite foods in summer are strawberries, raspberries, in autumn - lingonberries, cloudberries, cranberries, herb seeds. In preparation for winter, wood grouse fly to the banks of rivers and lakes and stuff their crops with small round stones. They help grind tough pine needles. The pine tree on which wood grouse feed seems completely bare by spring. After all, pine needles are almost the only food for these birds in winter.
The wood grouse's build is dense. It has short, wide wings. The legs are strong, adapted for fast running, there are four toes, the beak is short, thick, slightly curved. It flies well, but more often it flees from the enemy.
There is no larger bird in our forests than the wood grouse. Its weight reaches 5-6 kg.
The capercaillie rooster is very beautiful. Its neck and head are dark gray with black spots; the goiter is black with a shiny greenish tint; chest dark brown; dark belly with white spots. The beak is yellow-pink. In spring, red eyebrows appear brightly above the eyes. The feathers on the chin are long: they resemble a beard.
The capercaillie is light brown with rusty and white transverse stripes. You won’t even notice her when she sits on a nest among branches and dry leaves.
In the spring, when the capercaillie rooster sings his song, he often hears nothing. That's why he's nicknamed the wood grouse.
Song wood grouse relatively quiet for such a large bird, and it can barely be heard at a distance of no more than 150 m. When starting to sing, the capercaillie first makes a double click (“tecking”) like “te-ke...”. This is followed by a short trill that ends abruptly. And after this, the second part of the song sounds from low hissing sounds, as if someone is cleaning a pan with a brush. The entire song lasts about 5-6 seconds.
These birds are very sensitive to weather changes. They anticipate fog and rain. In bad weather they stop singing.
Capercaillie is found in our forests from the western border to Lake Baikal, in the Altai and Sayan Mountains. From Baikal to Kamchatka and Sakhalin, another species of capercaillie nests - the rock capercaillie. Currently, the number of wood grouse is declining. In a number of places they are protected. In some reserves they are bred in captivity.
