365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Ruffed Grouse
Day 42: Boy, Mr. Grouse! You picked a bad day to come strolling through the neighbourhood! The guy next door to me wouldn't think twice about adding you to his Thanksgiving dinner menu, so it's a good thing that you were hiding in the woods on my side of the fence late Wednesday evening. That said, I am beginning to wonder if the Game Dept. has started releasing farm-raised fowl up here. Just this year, the first California Quail appeared (at least two), and this is the first Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) I've seen locally, and this one doesn't look like he's missed any meals. It's always a treat to see new species in my yard.
