I see feathers, not sure what kind of bird it is. Grouse?

I remember have a few hen pheasant flush right behind me after I stepped over them walking a cut grass field. Talk about time to change your shorts!

Saw a woodcock in Colorado last year at about 11,000 feet in late April. Guess it was heading north. Saw one in March this year late in the day in Lincoln, Ne. I do love seeing the little buggers. Anyone know if their numbers are still droppping?
