Artist's Comments

I sat among a family group of eight ptarmigan for more than two hours. Most of the time they simply slept, but occasionally one would begin to roll around in the snow to clean its feathers (possibly to assist with molting). This one liked to try and catch snow flakes (seen here)!!

Looks like it emerged from snow, like a snow-phoenix x3;;

This exposure is just brilliant. I love how the ptarmigan melts into the snow.
