Good to hear about a spruce grouse sighting. Been a while! =20

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 =
=E2=80=9CTICK!!!=E2=80=9D 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. =
=20
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.=20

Thank you,
