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!
Gunflint Lake … looking towards Canada.
Poplar Lake … losing heat / steaming (video link for email subscribers)
wow- that beautiful grouse just made me smile and see the day shining. thank you so much for getting out there and sharing.
