Igorrock, I think that the Black Grouse you show is why I asked for help in identifying the bird I took pictures of in Sweden. To the unfamiliar eye the Capercaillie and Black Grouse look quite similar. I believe Lagopus published , on this board, some beautiful pictures of a Black Grouse. My pictures are apparently of Capercaillie. Last edited by Daryl Hallquist; 06/16/12 11:58 AM. http://www.bakercollectors.com/
