Nice to get three of them in a frame like this, Ken, and if they're like any other grouse it's an accomplishment to get them at all.

Hi Ken,

I thought at first that I was looking at a multiple exposure series of a single grouse. I especially like the arrangement of the birds in the frame. The directional lighting adds some nice edge effects to the breast and leading edges of the wings.........................Jim
