We received some suggestions that what we heard might be a Blue
Grouse. We listened to Peterson's and Thayers and the Blue Grouse
call is--how do I say--choppier rather then drawn out like the
call we heard. I guess we will have to go back and try to locate
the bird ?? or at least get a recording.

Thanks for the replies.
