Photo of the day - April 8

Ptarmigan look just like small grouse, weighing from 10 1/2 ounces to 1 1/2 pounds except that their toes are feathered, their wings are white all year, and they have pure white body plumage in winter. This particular ptarmigan was found along the Dalton Hwy on Feb, 26 2008.
