Ruffed Grouse

Canaan Valley, West Virginia

My wife and I drove to the parking area at the end of Lakeview Road and hiked to the culvert over Sand Run and back.
Spotted this grouse perched on a low limb a good distance off.
This was as close as he would let me get; funny though, on our hike back to my truck, we came across him again right on Middle Valley Trail.

Great shot of it in the tree Don. I haven't seen one of these in several years.
