Lagopus lagopus

Willow Ptarmigan

Moorschneehuhn

Ptarmigan are arctic grouse. They have separate summer and winter plumage. In the winter, they turn primarily white from their rufous summer colouration. In short, they are well camouflaged against predators. Blackstone Uplands, Dempster Highway, Yukon Canada
