Two males size each other up on a frozen bog during my Finland / Norway photo tour. These fancy chickens are now in my top 10 favorite birds - beautiful shapes & iridescence! 3:30 am starts made for some whining from the group and we had to deal with some stupid high ISO's. Uh, I remember when film would have made this stuff impossible!!!!!!

Nikon D500 & 600mm f/4
f/5 @ 1/400, ISO 1600
Manual exposure
center weight meter off snow & +2.3

Cool looking bird Dave. Really like the posture and head-on pose.

The ol' essence of grouse in the BG. Very cool frame. So rad to catch them in the snowy setting. Must have been exciting.

Thanks for looking,
