Field notes
What to look for
A chicken-like woodland bird, grey or reddish with a fan tail bearing a black band and a small crest.
Where
Aspen and mixed forest from the foothills through the boreal north and parkland.
When
Year-round. Spring drumming, like a distant engine starting, from April.
Tips
Explodes off the trail with a roar of wings. Spruce grouse are darker with a red eyebrow and are absurdly tame.
