These birds have been taken with fishing

the dusky or blue grouse extremely tame
in the Rocky mountains. These birds often
ran a short distance before our horses and
then few to the branches of the trees and
sat and looked at us In a gentle way, which
forbade our taking more than few Of
them for our table. They were entirely

game the elk. bear and the deer, and there
was an objection to the use Of the shotgun
since the noise would disturb the larger
animals. The dusky grouse, however. are
rapidly becoming wild and will no doubt
before long be as difficult to capture as
the rufaed grouse Of New England, With

attention is paid to the woodland birds
and they soon have decided fear of man,
