    This Hazel Grouse was also a lifetime lifer for me, although I've heard up through the years that they're not infrequently seen in the woods just east of us. This shot is from my second visit to his territory, which is just a couple hundred meters from the cabin where we often stop for cinnamon...

    New lifer - Hazel grouse

    After literally combing through several kilometers of the forest, I stopped to check a call of a great tit. After few minutes I realized that it was flying around something that looked like a wasp's nest. I zoomed in with the camera and found this well camouflaged Hazel grouse sitting still on...
