This week I spent several days with the ruffed grouse that I photographed two weeks ago. After spending that much time with him I could get within six to seven feet of his drumming log without disturbing him. The log that he picked this year made for great photos as it was covered in beautiful moss.
Drumming Ruffed Grouse 007
This photo was taken at 1/400 of a second and you can still see motion blur from the wings because they move so fast. They are just a blur when you see them with your eyes. It was a fun two weeks spending time in the woods listening to the wildlife around me and having close contact to not only the grouse but the family of chickadees.
