We came back yesterday after clearing a hiking trail and found this grouse on Stacey and Andrew's back porch. He must have smacked into the side of the house and died. Today we saw another grouse in my garden. Probably looking for her friend. The dead grouse must have been there for a while as he was quite stiff. Believe me if it had been a fresh death it would have been dinner. As it was he is now laying at the bottom of our trailer pad nourishing all the little creatures down there.
We still have another day of cleaning the hiking trail across the road. But today we put up two of the trail signs Rejean made over the winter. I think they look pretty good. Easy to see and being cedar, they will last probably longer than we will. HaHa
Saw some fresh Pileated Woodpecker pickings on a dead tree over on the mine side. You can always tell their work as the holes and the chips are quite large.
