Sunrise Over the Gunflint Trail

Fall is screaming towards Winter on the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. I was out enjoying the wilderness shortly before 7 am (just after sunrise). The temperature was 26F. My only question from this most enjoyable morning … where the heck are the Spruce Grouse?! I saw tons of Ruffed Grouse, and I did look in the proper habitat.

Ruffed Grouse at Sunrise … cold but still eating!
