Eastern U P February 24-25 2014

 Took a quick trip to the UP of Michigan.  Saw a few good birds despite no owls or hawks.

  1. Awesome Pics Mark.The Ruffed Grouse turned out pretty good considering the light.You must have had a pretty good guide to find you all those great birds in spite of it being very slow in the U.P this year.What a Guy!
