NOW is really  the time to be scouting the fool hens!

They hatches ought to be out and about, little mother's walking along with their broods...

I'm hearing some good reports, some so-so...

Gotta oil up the shotgun....

We saw a blue grouse mama and chicks in the methow area on saturday. We also saw a chukar mama and two chicks yesterday in the Okanogan - they were 2/3 her size, all brown still with the light reddish eyeshadow... very cool to see.

Well, I am happy to report that PathfinderJR, TinyPathfinder and I finally saw a living bird in the Blues yesterday while cutting firewood.  Maybe it was just my imagination, but it looked like the scrawniest, skinniest, most pathetic little thing I have ever seen, but by God, it was a grouse.... :tup:

I've got a hunch we'll see more birds.  It dried out in June in a lot of places.

Good for the broods.

Not in the Blue Mountains.  Headed up there again today for another load of firewood.  I'll report...
