Partridge/Grouse

Spring is mating time. The hens must find the food they need to produce good eggs that will result in healthy young. When they are ready to mate, hens are attracted by a drummer and will mate with him. (Wikipedia)
Spotted this Partridge/Gross snooping around our yard.

Thanks for stopping by I appreciate all your comments in the favs.
