Young Grouse

(sshhhhh..it thinks it’s hiding)
After I drove on the bird decided to cross the road.
So a car and a truck stop to let the bird cross.
After waiting for awhile for the bird to stop imitating a statue, the car or truck would start to move!
The bird would wake up and take a step or two, the car or truck would hit their brakes!
The bird would stop!
The car would move!
Bird steps!
Car stops!
Bird stops!
Truck moves!
Bird steps!
Truck stops!
Bird stops!
Car and truck move at the same time!
The bird turns and takes a step, then turns back around and takes a step back to where it started!
Car and truck stop!
Then everyone stops and stares at each other!
It must have been a contest of mental prowess!
(the bird won, they always do!)
