My presence caused some uncertainty at first but in the end everyone relaxed and made it across...must have been at least 8 of the young all told, they just kept popping out of the tall grass at the roads edge.  Well, I ain't scared!  Mom calling from the other side....  The most i could get in one shot...  Hey guys wait for me!!  Mike

These were surprisingly easy to approach, as is often the case with Ruffed Grouse in my experience. I just approached slowly, pausing whenever they seemed ready to get agitated.
