Ruffed Grouse

I was bumping along a country road when I spotted a dozen or so golf ball sized Ruffed Grouse chick-lets in the centre of the road. I stopped immediately and I am sure that's when the mother uttered a warning call and the the little grouse-lets scattered and hid. I did manage a few photos of the annoyed mother but she soon settled down when she realized I was not an immediate danger.
