There were four grouse finding food in the underbrush around a dead spruce tree, and this one was mad at them. He was performing a territorial display to try and chase the others off, but they were not budging. I have seen this behavior in the fall when grouse are dispersing and the males are establishing their territories, but I have never observed this in the middle of winter. The display went on for over two hours before everyone finally went their separate ways. It was quite a show!” Photo courtesy of Jean Brislance
