I expected a few rodents but what a great shot of a Blue Grouse! The American Ornithologist's Union has recently recognized two groups of these birds. In other words, this species has been split into two separate species: the Sooty Grouse which ranges from the coast to the Cascade/Sierra mountain ranges and the Dusky Grouse which ranges eastward and interior to the Rocky Mountains. According to the Birds of North America species account the split was due to "differences in morphology, behavior, and genetics: color and texture of cervical apteria, number and shape of adult rectrices, male song (number and frequency of notes) and singing perch (ground vs. trees), and coloration of downy chicks".<BR/><BR/>Craigdr_fiehlgoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598656398224845556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-64012153796828626322008-09-10T12:11:00.000-07:002008-09-10T12:11:00.000-07:00I passed through that area about a month ago.
