I headed for the Bonds but decided to turn around at Zealand. I thought we might get a break early but fog, mist and some periods of wet stuff made the decision easier. On the way back I had one of those incredible encounters, with a spruce grouse. after about 15 minutes of staring each other down from a distance of about 5 feet while exchanging assorted vocalizatons, I declared him\her the winner of the stare down and went on my way. |
