Pretty amazing!

It was sort of hard to make out what was going on when it was close-up. Can you describe it?

Several years ago hikers reported an aggressive male grouse up the North Fork. A week or so later, other hikers found it dead. ...I'm guessing someone whacked it hard.

Very cool Laura - Tarantino would have a blast developing that one!

What's that 11th commandment? Don't get mad - get even?

Yum!

I remember BobR having multiple encounters with a crazy grouse on the MMWT that he reported was no longer amongst the living after his last encounter.

Maybe the grouse was upset with all homo sapiens for leaving their trash, especially WAG Bags, in the wilderness. grin

Dang, I wish I had speakers on my computer here at work... whistle


Journey well...

Description:

Me: falling all over myself, shoving and trying to pin/throw the bird back in attempt to convince it I could do more damage if I needed to. I tripped twice over the trail (off the sandy edge once, then on the bigger rocks at the switcher). I dropped my poles on the second fall, and the damn bird got between me and one of the poles before I could grab it. We had a short stand off, during which time I shoved it off with the one pole.

Bird: Friggin' Terminator.
