Thank you for this. It will remain in the visual memory bank.

Those talons are amazing too. Glad my cat, Laura, doesn't have them AND wings.

She's enough, as is !!!

So glad............... passing shortest day of the year.............. XOT

What a pretty bird! I had never heard of willow ptarmigans before. When I looked them up, I learned that in 1955, the school children of Alaska chose the willow ptarmigan to be their state bird. Love that!

Pam -- Thanks for looking that up for us. The school children of Alaska knew best, didn't they? I would have chosen that bird too. xo, Rosemary
