..."I see your readers can not agree as to how grouse drink. The fact of the matter is that in wet weather grouse take water from the leaves; and in dry weather drink from springs and streams. Last fall I camped at various spots along the Queets river in the Olympic mountains. One morning I went to a spring near camp to wash dough from a pan. While I stood silently watching a lot of salmon fry eat the dough, out came a grouse from the brush. dipped his bill in the water and drank. exactly as a barnyard fowl would do. Having got his fill, he took a dust bath in a spot where the loose, dry earth had been pawed by an elk. Then he returned to the spring, took another sip, and flew up the mountain side."...
