Ruffed Grouse, Holyrood

On Saturday, while driving along the Witless Bay Line, I saw a grouse on the side of the road. I turned around and went back to try and get a few photos.

I got closer and closer until I could almost touch the grouse. I have never gotten that close to a grouse before so I thought there may have been something wrong with it.

I have created a web site with nine photos - feel free to have a look.http://www.lanephotography.com/birds/ruffed_grouse/ruffed_grouse_01.htm
