A big thank you! It's been way too long since I heard a grouse drum.
Watching that reminded me of a bear hunt in Western Montana about 35 years ago. Three of us were walking up a horse trail on a ridge and heard a drummer up ahead so we were watching for him. As we were walking by him at 20 feet or less he jumped off his log and ran out and pecked me on the boot as if to say "get out of here, you're ruining my love life". I've seen a lot of grouse over the years but that was the only attack one.
