Read MoreRuffed Grouse 001
This is the time of year that the male ruffed grouse can be heard when you are hiking the trails along the North Shore. They select a log or rock in an area where brush surrounds them as a guard against predators. You can just make out the grouse on the log in the middle of this photo.
Feeding Chickadees 001
I spent several hours over four days watching and photographing this grouse. At the same time I had six chickadees hanging around looking for sunflower seeds. The chickadees were even more tolerant than the grouse.. I think one day I had chickadees land in my hand over 100 times.
