Participants:

myself and Nick

Discussion:

A bit late but felt this report is warranted.
After completing the seemingly never-ending southern climb up to the fire lookout, we encountered a male Spruce Grouse on our return leg at the Lynx/Pocaterra junction.
It seems the bird considered Rossignol skis and boots unacceptable as he completely ignored my friend Nick with his Fischer skis and boots.
Go figure?!


Total distance: 26.00 Km

Oh mercy! It looks as though you managed to escape with only ankle pecks. Traumatizing nevertheless.

Perhaps the Spruce Grouse was defending territory from other birds. Rossignol is French for nightingale.
