Ptarmigan

My brother Cale is visiting from the south and we’ve managed to do some pretty cool things in the past few days. Dog Sledding friday, and snowmobiling yesterday.

While bombing around the arctic on snowmobiles we happened upon some birds with big funny feet, unknown to us then, but later found out to be Snow Chicken Ptarmigan, which is the official bird of Nunavut.

I’m not much of a birder, but I though the feet were pretty hilarious.

    You haven’t lived until one of these have scared you half to death during their spring-time courting!
