This one also from this morning. It is pretty impressive how the color on the bird blends into the rocks.

That first shot is just too cool, Dan! Almost has me wanting to attempt some wildlife photog.

You really rock at the wildlife stuff and make me wish I knew how to do this stuff. Number 1 is a great shot. I love the earth tones to everything and how sharp and detailed the Ptarmigain is .

Really like the first image, Dan - unique! It really gives you a sense of how many thick all the feathers are. I assume this was shot handheld?

The first is the best Ptarmigan I've ever seen.
