Great accomplishment.  A few of those pics make me want to start cleaning the old shotgun tonight...

Great stuff Tom!  I have dusky to go for good images yet...
Shawn. I'm sure you'll complete your Washington grouse quest soon . . . Dusky Blue Grouse are perhaps the easiest of any WA grouse to both find and photograph.

Yeah, back when I hunted Ruffed Grouse (quite avidly, I might add) they came close to giving me a life-ending heart attack on many occasions.  Darn things wait 'till you're practically on top of 'em, then explode.  Probably the hardest wing shooting I've ever had, especially when you factor in the dense cover they inhabit.

wow.....

You not only got all of the species, you got really beautiful pics of each species.

It's obvious that you know what you're doing with a camera......   My pics never come out that nice.

Well done!     :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:
