Spruce Grouse (2 of 2) Feb 10 2020-2851
Grouse will eat the needles on trees in the absence of berries. Then to aid in digestion they will eat grit. This is the first time I had the opportunity to observe a Spruce Grouse feeding. In the previous photo one of the two observed was eating needles from the spruce tree. The grouse was not concerned about oncoming traffic, not even the size of a transport truck. I was dreading the possibility of it being struck while observing, fortunately that did not happen.
Thank you for taking the time to view, comment or fave my photos.
