Un-pressured grouse likes having his picture taken...

I took the dogs for a walk by my house on Saturday (read: no shooting allowed) and came across this guy. He stuck around for quite some time just watching my dogs run like fools below him.

The last shot is EXTREMELY sharp when viewed at 200%, but my CS4 isnt working right now so I didnt get to bring up the exposure on the bird like I wanted to - the camera exposed for the sky on this shot...

Hopefully I wont be without CS4 for much longer!

I an so jealous because I have not caught one in the trees since I have started photography with my DSLR. I really like them all so make sure when you get PS working to re-post.

Nice shots, I have been keeping my eye out to try to capture some grouse...and I even saw one out hiking this weekend, but it got spooked and flew away before I could get a pic. These are great.
