Friendly Grouse

In Maine about thirty feet into the woods behind a friends house I encountered this bird, which I believe to be a Grouse. Even though the bird was only about five feet away it did not seem scared as I snapped some pictures. It even followed me out of the woods into the back yard. Either I have latent 'bird whisperer' talents or the bird was a wandering pet.
