I saw this beautiful ruffled grouse by the roadside and pulled over to watch and take pictures. She stood there motionless until her side feathers began to quiver. Out popped four little chicks who’d been hiding under her wings. Mom immediately headed into the woods. The babies sat there a a bit, then followed. Ahhh, nature.
Ruffed grouse are gorgeous birds, but I've never seen the adorable chicks before. Love them!
ReplyDeleteThey’re really cuties.
