Bonasa umbellus
July 7 2008 I met this mother Grouse with her babies. She send them away and made a big fuss to distract me.
note the band on her tail, the male has a continues band, where this female clearly has a brown gap in the centre of her tail.
Nice pics! The top grouse is a female Spruce Grouse showing the red comb over the eye, and the rusty tips on the tail. The other 3 photos are a Ruffed Grouse.
