Lookout Mtn (Jefferson) 3/28

[Mark Miller]

Hi Everyone,

 

Today 3/28 I went up to Lookout Mountain to see if the Dusky Grouse was still there. I arrived around 12:30pm. He finally made an appearance around 3:30pm, strolling across the parking lot and settling in roughly in the middle, two rows out from the nature center. He was pretty mellow for my visit, and I hear rumors he has a girlfriend somewhere downhill from the entrance gate. If he’s not in the parking lot itself, he may be roosting in a tree somewhere.

Glad you got to see him, I was there from 11am to 2pm and didn't see him.

Somebody else may have already posted this, but the dusky grouse is no longer with us.  It was hit by a car in the parking lot and killed.  I was in the area for work on Friday and went up to try to get a look.  The ranger told me the sad story.

So sorry to hear about the loss of the male Dusky Grouse at Lookout Mountain.  He was quite a bird and I was happy to make his acquaintance and view this beautiful species up close and personal.
