Index of Subjects Hi, Billy. Sounds like a lovely encounter. I had a similar morning on the Eastern Shore - had one Spruce Grouse cross a woods road with 3 young, and another one less than a km further cross with at least 2 young - some may have crossed before I arrived. They're gorgeous chicks. Someone was asking me about distinguishing Ruffed from Spruce Grouse chicks, if the adult female isn't seen. I rely on the overall buffier colour of Spruce Grouse chicks, the chestnut cap bordered in black, the irregular eyeline that turns down onto the cheek (Ruffed have a single strong eyeline through the eye to the nape), and the whitish legs of the Spruce Grouse.
