Ruffed Grouse (A first)

[Broncobear]

At leats I hope it's a Ruffed Grouse, please correct me if I'm wrong. :lol:

Quite an interesting bird. I was fortunate that it got as close as it did.

Definitely a Ruffed Grouse. Was this taken at the Hilda fedders?

[Broncobear]

Yup at the hilda feeders, I thought it was some sort of partridge since I had never seen a grouse before. It was really cool to see.

It is a Nice shot of a Ruffled Grouse and by the amount of White I think it is a male!!!

Great shot Brono and I recognise that fruit. I may have to get out there today.

I envy you Stephen , I'm stuck at the office and then this weekend looks like it will be sloppy family stuff :-(

I hate the holidays lol.
