Tag: Ruffed Grouse

Five-Years Ago (06-August-2010) — California

Gone to See America August 2010 Road Trip. Day 6: Eastern Sierra Photography Workshop with Michael Mariant. Bodie State Historic Park.

Female Grouse Hiding in the Grass.  Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 24 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 800, 24 mm, f/16, 1/50 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC. It was really hard getting close to the bird with a wide lens… Note that I initially thought this was a Ruffed Grouse, but after reviewing location maps, think it is a Sooty Grouse. Thoughts???
