In June I posted on finding a female Spruce Grouse & chicks at Methals
Lake bog, Black River Lake country, Kings Co. However, that location
is almost impossible to get to and, in any case, I wanted to find
another one. I have spent untold hours over the past 2 months or so
searching in the Greenfield-Black River Lake-Sunken Lake area. I have
completely modified my visual searching as these birds do not flush.
They just quietly watch you go by.

Today I found a male on a trail S or SE of Sheffield Lake, which is
due N of Methals Lake. I have photos:

I also heard Boreal Chickadees. Last Thursday Bernard Forsythe & I
found 3 Boreal Chickadees & 1 Gray Jay in this very same area. We were
looking for all 3 species at the time.
