The Ruffed Grouse (male) stands on a log called a drumming log and beats his wings to attract a female. He will sometimes display his hackles and puff himself up as a display of attraction. I have been photographing this one for almost 5 weeks now. I think he got lucky once. I saw him with a female taking a sterol one day. I left my nikon strap in photo just for effect. I could have used him for almost any type of add.I hope you like him?

I'm presently working on a DVD, trying to clean sound from nature recordings I've made. Wow, what a long study. Tutorials are hard to find. I also do may forms of visual arts, carving ,photography, etc. I sure could use some help using music studio 14, not to forget all the batch filing difficulties with photos.

I've taken mostly bird photos so far this summer. I will concentrate on mostly nature and possibly some scenics to add to my DVD,later this fall.(2012 july)
