Thanks to all who followed this thread. And, Reggie, I don't know if it was just serendipitous or fateful that we passed a cemetery on our way to a covert and it made me think again of the Sparse Grey Hackle piece I mentioned earlier. And, for what it's worth, the grouse did not flush from Greenwood Cemetery.
