Notes:

Getting the chance to see a grouse for the first time was exciting. There were tourists everywhere. And there they were, just walking around all the people in the planters. I was saying to myself, wait a minute! I thought grouse were shy and secretive! They were around 5 of them and I never got to study them for long because my group was leaving, but at least I got a picture. They are between the size of a chicken and a turkey.
