John, that river looks a lot like the Kennebec between Greenville and Rockland.
The grouse around there in the "Big Woods" seem to have no fear.
In a similar experience I stopped the truck and stepped out when a grouse walked fearlessly out of the woods. I proceeded to throw seven or eight golf ball size rocks at that bird and he just chased them and pecked each one when it stopped bouncing. I got tired of missing him and gave up. (I don't do a whole lot better with a Parker).
