There was a BLUE GROUSE on a logging road up the Kilchis River
that chased cars and people who got out of them. When we went
to photograph this bird, I had to pick it up and hold it while
we turned the car around for fear of running it over.

Can you say Fool's Hen?

For an image of it attacking my feet:

Half-a-bee, philosophically must ipso-facto half not-be.
But half the bee, has got to bee Vis-a-vis its entity...
d'you see?
But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee due to some ancient injury?
