Ruffed Grouse in a Pear Tree

This Ruffed Grouse has been hanging out in our backyard for awhile! This morning I walked out and there she was up in the tree not afraid of me. More photos to come

Thanks for stopping by I appreciate all your comments and favs,

What a great find and capture! They blend into the trees and undergrowth so well.

She's a big bird - as big as a hen?

She looks like a queen surveying her kingdom. Great catch! (And a nice variation on the Christmas classic!)

[Shutterbug]

Nice spotting. She doesn’t look too interested in her male friend.

[Islandgirl]

@maggiemae She is a big girl, and bigger than a hen!
