Ruffed Grouse strutting...

[YELLOWDOGDAVE]

I wonder if he knows theres about three feet of snow underneath him. A little early to be starting this - but this guy put on quite a show for me today. Really snowy and cloudy out today - plus hes under some pines. Wish there was some more light. I hope he hangs around in the same area so I get get some real good ones..







Next one I got snow on the lens


Every pic I got of him had one or another dam branch in the way. Guess thats how it goes sometimes. And then he said--- Goodbye---
