Ptarmigan, Week 7 in Healy

We started our 7th week with a nice visit to Denali. The moose wasn’t in a good place for a photo, but the Ptarmigan were cooperative.

Check out the feathered feet

I love their feathered “slippers” and the clucking and purring noises they make.

Ptarmigan March 19, all white

Above is a picture I posted earlier, back when the Ptarmigan were all white. Below is a picture from May 26 last year.

Denali itself was showing again today.
