Spruce Grouse

Beautiful spruce grouse sitting in a tree on the Boundary Bog Trail in Prince Albert National Park last fall.

Time to dust off this account! I've been carrying the old Panasonic Lumix on our outdoor activities for years just in case we saw an interesting bird worth documenting, but with multiple huskies along for the treks, it's seen very little use.

Until today! We're back up in northern Minnesota and today we did the hike to Magnetic Rock and back. Zeena alerted to a bird in a tree over the trail, and it turned out to be a Spruce Grouse!

We scare up plenty of Ruffed Grouse on our outings, but Spruce Grouse are rare for us, and this one just sat there, unperturbed, as we walked underneath.

It was "cooperative" in that it didn't move, but it certainly could have been more helpful by moving to a location with fewer branches in the way! These pics are the best I could get, fighting the autofocus all the way.

Let's stretch those wings! Spruce grouse yesterday, half way between Stanley Mission and Southend, in the boreal forest.

Spruce grouse today in the boreal forest, about 45 mins flying time north east of La Ronge. The look they gave us was one of "What the hell are you?" It is quite possible that we were the first humans they have ever seen.

Looking for some shelter from the snow today!
