[wisb] Re: Help w ID

Steve, there was no photo attached to the message.  I'll take a stab though 
and venture to guess Sooty Grouse.  The former Blue Grouse was split into 
Dusky and Sooty about 5 years ago.  Sooty Grouse is found in the Cascade 
range and parts west of there toward the coast.  Dusky are the birds one 
might find in Yellowstone, Colorado, Arizona and northern California.  I 
know for a fact Sooty Grouse are fairly easy to find in Olympic National 
Park.  I was out there with my family two years ago and there was a bold one 
in the parking lot that was sitting on cars and walking around within 10 
feet of us.
