Damn! The one I saw was in good light and all flared out. I thought I'd been told these birds were pretty approachable so I was careless in my approach. I won't make that mistake again...

I've gotten some pretty crappy shot's of them in Tellico, i think they're just camera shy, they just sit there til the lens pops up & BOOM, they're gone :-[

They might not know the difference between shotgun and camera!  :P

I flushed one yesterday as I was walking along one of my old haunts. When you have a shotgun they go 90mph at funky angles. It's even worse when you don't have a dog and are trying to kick them up the hard way. This one lackadaisically flew off straight away. I shouldered my fly rod and tracked it through the birches, muttering "bang" under my breath. It must have known the difference, too.
