Ruffed Grouse




Welcome to people linking through the Seattle Audobon Society (www.birdnote.org/birdnote.cfm?id=759), the Cincinnati Ruffed Grouse Society http://www.cincinnatirgs.org or through Google searches.

These grouse were photographed near Pinawa, Manitoba, Canada, which is in the southeastern part of the province, over several spring evenings between 2003 and 2009.

Please leave a comment on any pictures you like, or at the foot of the gallery.

Your male displaying in 2008 is gorgeous! I've used it as a model for the 12 drummers drumming in my Christmas yard display of indigenous birds. Thank you! je

Amazing captures of a very timid bird Colin. I've taken quite a few strutting grouse pics myself - yours are top notch.

Gus Porter: Colin, these are very nice photos of "Old Thunder Chicken." I have grouse photos but these are the best I've found to date. Thanks very much.
