I received the report below third-hand, and it's the only info I
have. I take it the Sno Park is up around Snoqualmie Pass, but I'm not
sure. I don't know what type of grouse it supposedly is either, but
thought it was interesting enough to warrant a posting.

ATTACK BIRD REPORT: RIDING BACK TOWARD THE SNO PARK SATURDAY WEST OF
LOST
LAKE I WAS ATTACKED BY THE NOW INFAMOUS ATTACK PHEASANT. I WARNED THE
PEOPLE WITH ME THAT WE WERE ENTERING A DANGEROUS AREA. I SLOWED WAY
DOWN
LOOKING FOR SIGNS OF THE MARAUDING BIRD, BUT SAW NOTHING. JUST AS I WAS
ABOUT TO GIVE UP SHE SWOOPED DOWN FROM MY BLIND SIDE AND ALMOST KNOCKED
ME
OFF THE SLED. WE STOPPED AND SHE STOPPED ONLY A FEW FEET AWAY. SHE
PACED BACK
AND FORTH CLUCKING AND GIVING US THE EVIL EYE. SHE HAD NO INTEREST IN
FOOD,
SHE IS ONLY INTERESTED IN PICKING OFF SNOMOBILERS. THE SNOW WAS A
LITTLE
WET BUT NOT AS BAD AS I FEARED IT MIGHT BE. WE EVEN HAD A LITTLE SUN
TOWARDS THE END OF THE RIDE. IT WAS A GOOD SPRING RIDE.
