White-tailed Ptarmigan - a photo on Flickriver

White-tailed Ptarmigan

            Dr. David Bensen is a biology professor at Marian University in Indianapolis, IN.  Each summer, he works in Glacier National Park as an interpretive naturalist.  He has also been doing studies on White-tailed Ptarmigan in the park.  While I was visiting Glacier, I arranged to meet Dave and an assistant, and accompany them into the alpine meadows above Logan Pass while they collected data in ptarmigan habitat.  While there, we were fortunate to find one hen with two half-grown youngsters.  They were exceedingly tame, and as I stood quietly nearby, they went about their feeding activities.  As I stood motionless, one youngster walked right up to me feeding.  You can see how close it got to my foot as it walked by!!
