Colorado Dusky Grouse SUCCESS! (pics)
It was a late start to the morning, but my brother and I reached the parking spot at the bottom of the mountain at about 7am. It was cold, about an inch or two of snow covered the ground and mountains were surreal to look at. The Eagles Nest Wilderness in the distance looked particularly angry...- COrookie
