As Brian Bell explained in his trip description, the dusky grouse at Sun
Mountain Lodge earlier this week were unbelievably cooperative. I took a
couple of short pieces of video of the amorous male being resolutely ignored
by a female who was far too busy eating. Its footage shot on a primarily
stills camera, but it's the best I had on me. If everything went to plan,
you should be able to find them here:

Thanks once again to Brian for putting together such a fabulous trip!
