Ruffed Grouse

We always have grouse (partridge) in our backyard yard in the winter, this guy was all puffed out and looking for food in the bushes where the bunny was a few days ago!

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate all your comments and favs!

I must be cold! I hope he/she found something to nibble on.

The strategy to get warm?

[Diana]

Such beautiful plumage, his face looks so small being puffed up like that.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, nicely captured.

[Carole Sandford]

Very puffed up against the cold. Super capture!

[Babs]

Looks as though he needs to go on a diet rather than look for more food

[Wylie]

so puffed up it looks like a real fatty! Lovely to have them around.

[Islandgirl]

@yaorenliu yes they puff up to stay warm. :)

[Dione Giorgio]

He must be twice his normal size from what I can guess. Nice capture.

[Kate]

Are those pear tree limbs? (just kidding)
