Hello Hivers
I came across this Spruce Grouse on a hike, some people call them forest chickens, and it seems accurate.
Feeding on the ground it didn't pay much attention....
to me, and went about it's business.
Very similar to the Ruffed Grouse, the Spruce has a smooth head as....
opposed to a crown for the Ruffed.
So well camouflaged I didn't see it till I was a few feet away.
Thanks for checking out my Grouse.
