Sitting on the couch, which is about all I do these days, some motion outside my window caught my eye. Upon inspection from my bedroom window I discovered I had four Ruffed Grouse eating buds on one of my apple trees. I was never able to get a shot of all four as they were scattered widely in the tree.
Bonasa umbellus, by the way, comes from the drumming sound this grouse makes, which was thought to sound like the bellowing of a bull bonasus or European bison.
