Subject: [Leica] Blue Grouse

Ordinarily the Blue Grouse is difficult to find: it blends in with the
forest floor, it likes conifer forests high in the mountains, and it rarely
flushes until you nearly step on it (thus the nickname "Fool Hen"). When I
heard of an easily-accessible family of Blue Grouse at Yosemite's Glacier
Point I jumped at the opportunity:

http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/tetraonidae/blgr02.html

I'll be scanning several photos so rather than take up bandwidth I'll add
them to http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/tetraonidae/blgrinfo.html as I
scan them. 

Technical stuff (above photo): Leicaflex SL, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R, Provia
400F, monopod/shoulder stock.

Technical stuff (project): Leicaflex SL, Leicaflex SL2, Leica R8, Provia
400F, E100G, K25, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R, monopod/shoulder stock.

All comments welcome.
