I took my yearly hike out to Jupiter’s Boulder in Black Rock Forest<\/a> to try for Ruffed Grouse. As with the last 6 years, I did not have any success with my target species .

Highlights included a low flyover of a Broad-winged Hawk while I relaxed on Jupiter’s Boulder, eating my Cliff Bar breakfast, and getting fantastic looks at an Acadian Flycatcher which was vocalizing nonstop with with its excellent call of “peeet-SAH!”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
