Ruffed Grouse

[ronwoodcraft]

I had been seeing this male ruffed grouse sitting in the same place on an old log, so I set a camera trap aimed at where he likes to hang out...I was hoping to catch him doing that drumming thing they do.... Surprisingly when I went to check it one morning he was right in front of the camera where he was supposed to be. ( Camera box is covered with a waterproof camo backpack cover. )

Canon T4i, 18-55 kit lens, Camtraptions PIR sensor and two Nikon SB 28's
