On their little ski excursion the crew accidentally run into group of grouses (or wood grouses, I do not give much credit to their ornithological skill) spending their wintery day in their snow nests. The birds just bursted from the snow one by one. In the second pic you can see one of the round nests in the snow, the foot prints in the middle and three pairs of wing sweeps last of them being only a light touch by the wing tip feathers. The crew returned to the cabin the same path to make sure they did not disturb more birds staying warm in their snowy temporary lairs.
PS Earlier on the same trip two lovely willow grouses allowed the crew observe their graceful sprint into air. The crew was very impressed by all this natural wonders they could see.
