upland birds

You just never know what will walk by

As a long time grouse hunting guide I have frequently been frustrated by the fact that the birds are hard to find on a warm sunny afternoon. I have looked in all kinds of cover and often wondered if they spend the afternoon in the trees watching the dogs and I search for them.

Beep…..Beep Spring is here

Argy and I have been walking in the evenings this week. We are taking advantage of the pleasant March weather and the switch to Daylight savings time. Two evenings ago I heard a single Beeep.. and I knew that spring was here for sure. For those who do not know it is the sound that the male woodcock makes when getting ready to perform his territory / mating ritual.
