Ruffed Grouse: McCain and Obama


Tree1008

Ruffed Grouse

Bonasa umbellis

I found these two while driving up a friends driveway today. They were quite oblivious of anything else but themselves. One would posture and leap, the other would duck and dodge. I am not sure what sex they were-one did seem more dominant than the other.


Later, after watching the McCain-Obama debate tonight, I thought of these two birds today. :P So I have named them Obama and McCain.
