In April 2014, Doug Thorburn sent me some pictures of a Dusky Grouse. Last Sunday, he again photographed the spectacular display of this uncommon resident of the coniferous forests of the South Selkirk Mountains.
Below are two pictures of the male (plus a lagniappe).
The bonus is Doug’s more recent view of the yearling male elk.
Thank you for all the beautiful photographs and commentary on this site. I am enjoying following along, and seeing animals and places I wouldn’t get the chance to without embedding myself in the wilds. Wonderful!
