I noticed movement in a window that overlooks a large crabapple tree. Looking out I saw not one, not two, not three, but seven(!) Ruffed Grouse eating the buds from the tips of branches. I\u2019ve included a photo of five of the birds. At such close range, I couldn\u2019t get all of the birds in one photo. The 2nd photo is of one of the birds as it approached a branch tip about 10 feet from my window. I\u2019ve been fortunate to see grouse in this tree in the past, but never more than 3 at once.<\/p>\n<p>submitted by Larry VanWagoner<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was sitting at my desk on the second story of my home on New Year\u2019s Day, 1\/1\/2018.
