Last week Laura and I took a trip through eastern Oregon. As we passed a point
on Hwy 395 a little south of Galena Junction, in Grant County, I remembered
that I had seen (what was then) a Blue Grouse strutting in the middle of the
highway there on May 19, 1983. Until now I hadn't thought much about the split
of Blue Grouse into Dusky Grouse and Sooty Grouse, or paid much attention to
their respective ranges, but is it correct to assume one found at that location
was a Dusky Grouse?
