I take this photo on 27 December 2022 when I was out for a walk.

Can anyone tell me if this is a grouse or capercaillie?
I think it's a capercaillie, but I'm not sure.

It’s a pheasant.
 
🗼Steinway Tower ~ A Modern Master Piece ~ 84-story ~ logic-defying ratio of width to height: 1-to-23 1/2. 1,428 feet (435 meters) Built-in 2020. 🏙️

A soaring 1,428-foot tower of epic grandeur. It is an unprecedented collaboration of craftsmanship, materiality, and engineering.

With a height-to-width ratio of 24:1, Steinway Tower has been described by its developers as "the most slender skyscraper in the world 🌎." The tower's facade includes blocks of terracotta, a material that appears to change color and texture when seen in different lights and from different angles.

The 60 apartments in the tower range in cost from $18 million to $66 million per unit, and offer ⭕️ 360-degree views of the city. It's located just south of Central Park, along a stretch of Manhattan’s 57th Street known as “Billionaires' Row.”

You have some of the most awesome mountain ranges out there, and have taken some of the most beautiful photo's of them. I really enjoy your work @sparksd
Thanks! It helps to have great looking subjects. It's been interesting - and sad - to see the changes in them since I started hiking and climbing back in the mid 60's. The reduction in size of permanent snowfields and receding of glaciers has been amazing. It is now estimated that all glaciers in Olympic National Park will be gone by 2070.
