Orre (Tetrao tetrix) Black Grouse

I spotted them high up in a tree, yelled at my husband to stop the car. He's used to it and he managed to stop in no time. I opened the car door. Got one foot out and found that my other foot was stuck in the car heater cord. Balancing on one leg, still trying to get my foot loose, I got the camera up and ... then they took off flying. This is a composite of the two photos that I managed to take.

Beautiful! Birds flying and how their wings go is just fascinating.
