Around noon today there were 4 Spruce Grouse (3 m, 1 f) along the Fire Tower Trail at Scenic State Park. All of the birds were in/under a couple of jack pines on the west side of the trail, on the edge of the spruce bog. This is just over a half mile up the trail from the road. They were all very tolerant of being watched. Snow conditions on the trail are excellent for snowshoeing and decent for hiking without snowshoes.
