In August between Swiftcurrent Creek and Waterton Lake weflushed a number of them along the trail. On the Belly River 138 WILD ANIMALS OF GLACIEE NATIONAL PAEK. trail on successive days three broods whirred up from ahnost underthe feet of the first horse, making him shy and jump as if he hadsurprised a bear. One of the first brood, instead of flushing, stood byhis guns, trusting instinctively to his protective coloration and atti-tudes. Drawn up thin and tall in unbirdlike form, the little brownfledgling stood on a branch close to the trail looking greatly scared aswe passed. When the second brood sprang up from before us, one ofthem calmly took his stand down the road right in the way of theprancing horse—a cocky little half-grown grouse with small crest up, ruffs spread, and short tail flashing—sword drawn across our path!As we rode down on him he flew to his brothers in the cottonwoods..
