26. Rock Ptarmigan - July 2008


We were visiting New Denver and took a harrowing trip with Candy and all the kids up into the mountains to see the Alpine Meadows. Hiding amongst the long grass, right at the top of the highest mountain we climbed was a Rock Ptarmigan and her clutch. Beautiful. How they survive when the snow comes I don't know, but they were beautiful. The one we saw was speckled like this one.
