Lovely series. I wonder if our path crossed at the visitor center where, I presume, the ruffed grouse picture was taken. I have one very similar.

I was down under the deck around 3pm with 3 others one of which I did not know. Ed and Brian were with me

Ah well, the one you didn't know was indeed me. I knew Ed from previous encounters. Here's the link to my Grouse photo from that day.

I think it's also good to say hello here and this way. :D :D
I did approach a birder once and asked him whether he was on this forum, and he gave me a cold no.
I love the gray jays, but how come they are all ringed?
Great photos!

Wonderful set of images. They go crazy when they band those Gray Jays.

.....They go crazy when they band those Gray Jays.
I wonder what they do when they are fitted with an antenna in their arse.

The Algonquin Gray Jays are part of a 55 year plus long study.
http://www.algonquinwrs.ca/Current%20Research.html (http://www.algonquinwrs.ca/Current%20Research.html)
They know all of the birds lineages and so on. They are quite worried about the effects of global climate change on them because they rely on cold enough weather to keep their stored food from rotting before they need it to feed their babies during the winter when new insects are not yet available. (Gray Jays nest while there is still snow!)
Great photos: I've never seen a Ruffed Grouse look so intelligent before; they usually look rather stunned!
