EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Tom & Pat Leeson, we witness nature's very own rockstar – the Ruffed Grouse – putting on an electrifying performance. With feathers fluffed and wings spread wide, this male grouse is drumming up a storm during his spring mating-territorial display. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific Northwest's lush woodlands, this charismatic bird steals the spotlight with its mesmerizing vertical action. As it beats its wings rhythmically, you can almost hear a catchy beat echoing through Olympic National Park. This vibrant image perfectly captures not only the beauty but also the communication skills of these North American gamebirds. Through their elaborate displays and territorial behavior, they announce to all potential mates that they are ready for courtship. With each powerful drumbeat reverberating through the air, our feathery performer establishes his dominance over his territory while simultaneously wooing potential partners. It's no wonder why these charming creatures have become icons of wildlife in Washington state! So hang up this delightful print and let it transport you to a world where birds take center stage and dance to their own unique tunes. Let your imagination soar as you marvel at nature's incredible ability to create such awe-inspiring spectacles right in our own backyard!
