The female sooty grouse came to visit us once again yesterday. Here she is looking over the cliff and getting ready to fly to a tree where her fledged chicks are waiting. If you are on Flickr, be sure to click twice for extra flavor and crispness :-)

Went to Little Mountain looking for pygmy owls this morning and ended up with a female sooty grouse and her chicks. Who knew?

Guess I should have reviewed my images better before posting the last shot. Kind of like this one better for detail and light. You be the judge.

There weren't any owls today due to the wet weather. However. I did get a nice greeting from a female sooty grouse on arrival at the parking lot.

My apologies on this one. The microphone on the camera didn't pick up the low frequency of the grouse hooting very well. If you listen closely you can just barely hear it.
