This is such a beautiful bird. I live is plumpness and the array of brown and sand colors of the feathers. Glad you didn't eat it!

Ive actually grown quite fond of ruffed grouse. Although I ate my share years ago when I still hunted, I now love to see them and wouldn't think of killing one. We have a pair in our yard (not in picture) that are here most every day. They fly in and eat at the base of our bird feeder (seeds that have fallen to the ground). Really nice addition to the yard!

Excellent capture for such a reclusive and hard to spot bird!
To think, after all my years of hunting (now long given up)...all I had to do was show up at your bird feeder!

Jaime,

Is there some code for hunters, I mean those who actually kill grouse for sport and dinner, where someone might bait the shooting spot with bird seed. Is that allowed by Game and fisheries, whoever has jurisdiction for hunting licenses?
