Winter Grouse


This grouse and the rest of her family have been hanging around in the front yard for a couple months now. It's rare that they will stay in one place like this for so long. It has been fun to watch them feed lately; they will sit in the trees and eat spruce needles, and in the evening they will hop down to the driveway, pick gravel for a bit, then head back up to roost. This one was puffed up in a tree next to the driveway this morning.
Cheers,
Josh

Hi, I've been checking in on you for some time now. Thought I ought to introduce myself, I'm Diane, Amanda's mom and Gregg's mother in law. This is a beautiful picture, almost jewel tones.
