Sep-Oct Theme Camouflage Spruce Grouse
Mark IV, HH, ISO 400, f/5, 1/200, 0 ev, 100-400@200mm, AV, FF
This is an indigenous species that lives in heavily forested areas. It seeks areas to camouflage itself. Good behavior since they are very tame & will frequently allow humans to approach within a few feet.

Good one Andrew, thanks for posting! Your image shows the advantage of the pattern and color of the plumage quite well. Nice use of the green foliage to frame the bird. Well done!

Great shot and very much on line with the theme. Nice one for HH'ing and a 1/200 shutter speed. At 200MM, he did let you get close, thanks for posting. Keep em coming!
