Dusky Grouse

Dusky Grouse (formerly Blue Grouse) at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, June 2009. This rather tame male was sheltering from the periodic drizzle under an evergreen at dawn, but also singing with a series of almost inaudibly low-frequency hoots. In dark conditions this was taken without the teleconverter at ISO 1600 at something absurd like 1/30th at f4. Nevertheless only required only moderate work with Noise Ninja to get a decent result.
