Ruffed grouse

Was fortunate to find a Ruff that was in some light and sat still long enough for a pic. Love these guys.

Nice shot Terry, looks good! I love those guys too. Except when they explode into flight when I don't know they're there and I nearly have a heart attack. Then, I don't feel the love so much...

Great shot. I've heard one drumming every Saturday morning I have been out on the trails for the past few weeks but haven't been able to find him or capture any images yet.

Wonderful shot, great detail and clarity here.

Great clarity and details indeed. Well done.

Thanks Coopert. Yes, they do give one a start when they get up.

I'd love to photograph one drumming. Good luck on finding one.
