Okanogan blues, grouse that is...
« on: August 14, 2007, 07:52:02 PM »
I did some scouting near my property to see what might be around. To my suprise there were a lot of blue grouse around. Several held long enough to get a couple of photos. I'll see if I can post them...





Now the big question is will they still be around in two weeks... :dunno:

3000 to 3200 or so...I'm guessing because the house is at 2600. Not quite to the ridge top...

 That road looks familiar. I'm guessing near Cape laBelle area. I've shot some thunderchicken up there, mostly Blues and a couple Roughs. It's amazing the density of birds over there considering how dry it usually is.
