Smaller then? Like a big robin? Or larger, like a ruffed grouse? It sure is cute. Great pic. Scuba May 2012 #5

Closer to a grouse, but not quite as big NV Whino May 2012 #6

These little fellows take turns being the lookout while the rest of the covey browse. This guy kept chirping at me as I (and the cats) weeded the veggie garden this morning. I never did see the rest of the clan, and it took me a while to find him.

Yes, these guys are very cute. It's especially fun to watch the little ones in the spring as great hoards of them scurry through the grass.
