Yeah this guy flew at first, then I crept into the bushes close by and just sat down to grab a few images.
Honestly I do not know, After doing a bit of research I want to say Taiga based on where I was and the colour of him.
Though I have another image of what I believe is a Franklins Spruce Grouse. (Same Day, different Area, this one was doing some courting)
You really nailed the focus on the eye.
Thank you Matthew!
Aren't Spruce Grouse just awesome?! Gotta love how they let you get so close without becoming alarmed.
Was this the Franklins variety, or the Taiga variety?
