Quality and composition on this shot seems a little better.

Notice the size difference on the top two birds. The cinnamon bird was full grown, arguably a holdover from last year. The one next to it was and is easily the smallest ruffed grouse I've ever encountered. My guess is that the mother hen clutched 3 times this last Summer and this was one of her last broods. Probably no more than 6-weeks old here.
