Sooty Grouse (formerly known in these parts as a Blue Grouse).

He was performing for me, just couldn't catch it on film. Best I got was this partial body shot as he hopped into the bushes.
Such a beautiful bird.

Thanks, He did the full blown dance for us and it was something else to see. By the time I was able to get my camera and take a shot though, he was ready to leave. This was the last glance over his shoulder before fading back into the brush.
