Thank you to the folks in tweeterdom who sent suggestions for photo friendly Sooty or Ruffed Grouse.? As suggested by two birders, I went to Beckler Ridge Road off Highway 2 this morning.? It was cold and for the most part very quiet.? Nothing on the way up but on the way back down we had a mother Sooty on the road.? She flew to a nearby tree after posing for many photos.? Then first one and then a second young grouse came out for quick views.
Next will be to try for a Ruffed Grouse somewhere.? Have received a couple of suggestions but still open to more ideas.? Thanks to all.
