248A1778 dusky grouse hen
once known as a blue grouse...which has been broken into two categories dusky and sooty.....such odd birds with little fear of humans, he was anywhere from 4 to 12 feet away while I was photographing him.....good thing they are well camoflauged from predators...the males on the lek are absolutely beautiful birds....
