The Bird D-Pot
Looking for some help identifying this one. When I first saw it, I thought it was a chicken, but when I got closer I could tell it wasn't. I tried to get a better shot, but it kept moving away.
These pictures were taken in south central Wyoming.

Neat photos! I've never actually seen one but the first thought I had upon seeing your photo was "ruffled grouse" Maybe? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ruffed_Grouse/id
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying your weekend!
...we came to the wrong guy for help!
ReplyDeleteIs it a Grouse? I think so. Saw them decades ago...in west Nebraska.
ReplyDeleteYour sharing is much appreciated with all of us at I'd Rather B Birdin'...thanks so much!
Ps...thanks also, for the idea on fire ants. I'm gonna do that.
I would definitely think grouse of some kind. We have the spruce grouse in this part of the continent, and they actually tend to walk around very much like a chicken does.
ReplyDeleteHello, there are several species of Grouse. It could possibly be the Ruffed Grouse! I have seen them in Colorado and in Washington State. Cool bird, great sighting. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!
