The Ruffed Grouse


I caught this little guy while driving along a county road in a light snow/drizzle.


She was not shy and just kept working her way along the bush line, enjoying another mild day.




I am not sure what she was eating

 She was in no hurry to get off the clearing.

 They have many names from, Ruffed Grouse, to Partridge, to Fool's Hen (also applied to Spruce Hens) to last but not least "Chicken"

    Very cool looking. It's nice when they make getting a picture a little easier. It looks a little like Tex's roadrunner!!
