Excellent capture of this spruce grouse munching away and who stands out so nicely here against the colours of the tamarack and background sky.

A sproose goose branched like that drags me back in souvenirs of the 50th where I was 9 and needed to hunt them with my father to complete the grocery. Hope one day Mother Nature will allow me to photo shoot them just the way you did.
