But I have never seen a Ruffed Grouse looking as gargantuan as the one that is pictured alongside Jim's VH. Is it an optical illusion, lens/light, or depth of field distortion? If not, what a bird to feast on!

Hope this warm weather cools down. Leaving friday morn. for 2 weeks+ in the UP. Looks like a cold front is coming soon. My son will be coming up sometime in the second week for his first upland trip.

It may have been an adult and a young of the year. That would account for the apparent size difference. I have seen that many times with grouse.
