Holiday weekend equals lots of company here.
We walk in the woods every day, but our guests look forward (are forced) to take a walk after a nice cookout.

Because of the extra traffic on the trail, we found a ruffled grouse nest. (we have been walking by her for days), she flew up in the excitement and we located the nest. I snuck back today to get pictures of her sitting on the nest. (she has 11 eggs)

Picture 1 (of three)
Nest at base of tree. Oh yeah, she blends!
