This juvenile male was picking grit from the edge of the road, a common behavior. Note, the red comb is just starting to show. He froze in this position when I stopped the truck. I expected him to fly before I got out. But, I slipped out very slowly, and he never moved. I took eight pictures with different light setting, before he flew up into a Spruce tree. The pictures of him in the tree weren't any good. The branches were too thick. |
