White-tailed Ptarmigan

Female White-tailed ptarmigan, Lagopus leucura, Wrangell St. Elias National park, Alaska.

I took this image of a female white-tailed ptarmigan (grouse family) in the Chugach mountain range of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska. Ptarmigans change their plumage throughout the year, with the seasons. In winter, the bird will be totally white. This female was enjoying the morning sun as she basked on the rock, while her chicks fed in the grasses behind her. (Lagopus leucura).
