killerbee,

I am pretty sure that it is a Blue Grouse. I looked it up on the Fish and Game website and identified them as such. I ran into a few more today while hiking around the hills. Thanks for the reply

They look like Blue's but it doesn't look very high for them. In Mont we found them real high in timber edges and just above timber line. Good good eating bird's!

killerbee,

I hear ya, I'm no expert either. That's why I had to look it up. All I knew at the time is that it would be a good picture. That's why I like getting out, i learn something new everytime. Thanks for the replies.

they are blue grouse, they come down to the sage flats to breed and nest, then back up to the top for winter.
