    A couple of Spruce Grouse are busy foraging on the cones and the soft needles of the tamarack trees as fall approaches.

    The lush greenery on the tamarack brings out the tones and markings on the grouse perfectly here, Debra. Great focus and detail here too.

    Great catch Debra. Agree with Jane about the tamarack. One of the tree I appreciate to have in my photos. Great focus on the front goose showing beautyful markings with the touch of red over the eye. Well done.

    I love the texture of the tamarack against that of the birds. Very cool, Debra.
