Friends, these birds are male Sharptail Grouse in Namekagon Barrens, thanks to the people who put up the blinds and this year they did a magnificent job.  Some of the birds danced so close to the blind that one was lucky to have a telephoto zoom lens that you could back off to include the bird.  You photographers know what i am talking about, too much glass sometimes.  A great place to start a fledging wildlife photographer.  til Tomorrow MJ
