Description
The Willow Ptarmigan is white in Winter, brown in Summer, and in between, he's, well, in between.
I would've walked right by him if the park ranger hadn't pointed him out, deep in a thicket in Exit Glacier Park, near Seward, AK.
He had his bride stashed nearby, but she chose not to pose.
