Miscellaneous Birdage

Yeah, yeah, I know that's not a word.  And I also know that we were not really looking for birds but in some cases you could not help stumbling on them!  This grouse I never would have seen had Stephen not pointed it out...it was quite hidden in the shrubbery.

The raven/blackbirds at YNP were obnoxiously big.  You can't tell from this picture how big and mangy some of these birds were but it was weird.  Seriously.  Weird.  Like the birds in The Stand.  Big ugly critters.
