So, I was on the back deck refilling the bird feeders and I saw....

2 grouse strutting accross the lawn. I stopped and moved closer to the railing....and they bolted into the woods nearby. Then 4 more bolted. Smaller, probably hatchlings from this Spring. I think they were part of a brood that hatched this year. Awesome to witness.
