Grouse are funny birds. We were sightseeing down a dirt road in the northern Colorado mountains near Steamboat Springs when one stepped out on the road about 30 feet ahead of us. I stopped the truck and we got out hoping to get a few good pics before it disappeared. Well, not only did it not disappear but, apparently taking offense at our presence, it came running up the road towards us. It kept coming and coming and ran up to me and started pecking at my boots. Then it went over and pecked at my wife's boots. I finally recovered enough to switch my camera over to video and got it as it came back to peck at my boot before it disappeared off the roadside.
