...hen! Yep, these guys come be their name honestly! This family allowed me to get a few shots yesterday.

Are you my mother?

Playin' with color temp on these a bit. I guess I like the warmer ones better.

[Jameson]

You must be Ken cause you have Mom train to stand on one leg whenever you pull out the camera What a great series of shots.

[DTro]

Nice shots!

They sure are a friendly bird aren't they? I remember being able to hunt them with an air rifle when I was younger.

[Canon Guy]

Nice,very nice!

[MARINERMAGNUM]

2nd one is super sweet Ken!

[Catmendo]

Super stuff Ken! Numbers are way up in this region too!

[Neighbor_guy]

I like 'em. #'s 3 and 4 are my personal favorites.

So, we have seen the Drumming shots, now Momma.... Will there be a hunter and dog series in the future???? You know, complete the cycle????

Geez, I haven't completed the cycle since my baseball days!

But, there could be a grouse epilogue!

[JayinMN]

Nice job taking advantage of a great opportunity. I saw lots of rough grouse chicks this year but no spruceys. I like the little one that is strutting around in #5.

[Hwood]

you got some nice ones there.

[Yellowhead]

Their all great but I really love #4

[Muskiefool]

I can smell the bacon-n- bbq black beans sizzling right now along side those birds.

[micpic]

Great Stuff Ken! Patience pays off!

[Dbl]

Great shots! They are friendly dudes!

[harvey lee]

Nice shots. I love the close up of mom and the kids.

This is a sick series! It's a hard enough species for many people to even find for starters. There are people that have hundreds of birds on their life lists and have still not seen this species. It's a delightful group of images sir, in really nice light too.
