Spruce Grouse

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

Hello Hivers

I was out on a hike yesterday and spotted this male spruce grouse sitting up in a tree. They generally are quite tame and let you approach.

I got within 10' and he didn't move.

Thanks for viewing my grouse.

Does he pronounce his name "Spruce Groose?" He should.

lol.. I’m going to start a petition to change his name…

Pretty fancy looking. So far I've never seen a grouse in the wild as most are very shy down here.

That’s funny, here you can literally walk right up to them if you move slow.. 5-6’away.. even closer if your patient enough.. forest chickens some people call them…
