Wildlife

I saw a bunch of young birds on the way to work this morning, brown, ground runners and somewhat large (maybe 12" high, too small to be turkeys), may have been grouse. About 8 of them together. Unfortunately, my helmet cam only got a very blurry image (I've been thinking about upgrading it to high def) and by the time I got close, they had scurried into the brush.
