Some more chickens from the north

The title says it all - some more photos of some Spruce Grouse from northwest of Cochrane, Ontario.

We saw all three species of grouses that day, all of them lifers for Jeremy.

I kind of like this one. Inadvertently having a slow shutter speed created an interesting effect.

I used the van as a blind and crawled on my belly to photograph this female.

At one point we found two pairs of Spruce Grouse together on the side of the road. They flushed up into some White Spruce and I was able to get some decent photos of them.
