have heard drumming day and night for the last week...this lovely creature was on the front lawn. Must have found something tasty, he was there for almost an hour!

Thanks W'lass! yes tis the season...and he's been calling for a ladyfriend for quite a while now...have seen a pair of hawks hunting today and was hoping he was well under cover.

'Maybe, you will see some little fledglings in the near future Lori?

Good photo Lori. The hawk will probably have some of the babies, but nature provides and usually some survive don't they.

It would be so nice to see young grouse, Freesiaperson, but he's been drumming away for weeks now...there are foxes around too, and I'm wondering if he's lost his mate and is calling for a new one!! Thanks Lindak, I've also seen hawks hunting for the last week or so... and yes, nature has her ways...
