Hi Donald & All,
Perhaps it was just pleased to have some company for a change.

Stopped for a walk on a logging road off of the Walton Woods Road
on Saturday. When we got back in the car and started driving my
boys yelled “TICK!!!” I stopped to fob a large female deer tick
climbing on my 8 year olds pants. First (deer tick) of the year
for us. We found a dog tick in Bedford on one of us after a hike
in early March.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also interesting to note, when we pulled into the logging
road and drove around the corner there was a straight stretch
more than a kilometre long and right away we saw a Spruce Grouse
on the road at the other end of the stretch. It saw us (maybe
the daytime driving lights) and ran the complete kilometre to us
fast as it could like a dog coming for supper. While we walked
up the road it circled us the whole time staying with us. We
walked the whole kilometre plus and back to the car with it
circling around. Seems like a long way to come and then follow
if it was trying to distract us from a nest. That bird ran well
more than 4 kilometres in 45 minutes. </div>
