A couple more ptarmigan pictures from last week up on Lochnagar. The ptarmigan name comes from the Scottish Gaelic ‘tarmachan’, which translates as ‘croaker’ #Ptarmigan #CairngormsNP #Scotland https://getmona.app/rich_text/590624072265

Mount Rainier white-tailed #ptarmigan was officially listed as threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the #Endangered Species Act (ESA), 14 years after the Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned for its listing.

We spotted dozens of the Ptarmigan. The males were all very vocal.

More ptarmigan from a couple of days ago. The first two shots are of males with the third being a female. The red comb over the eye is the indicator as to the gender #Lochnagar #Cairngorms #Scotland #Ptarmigan

The masters of camouflage. Ptarmigan on Lochnagar from last week #Lochnagar #Ptarmigan #Cairngorms #Scotland

Blustery, wet and feeling more like the end of September than August today up on Lochnagar. Plenty of young ptarmigan around and even the company of a snow bunting made it worthwhile #Cairngorms #Lochnagar #Ptarmigan #SnowBunting #Scotland

This is the first #ptarmigan I've ever seen in the wild. I saw it in Iceland almost ten years ago. It was May and I think it's the time of year #ptarmigans are transitioning their plumage from the white, winter one to the darker, summer plumage. This ptarmigan is a male as indicated by the red eyebrow. Apparently ptarmigan is the traditional Christmas dinner in #Iceland.

Ptarmigan.

I'm not one for hiking up mountains, but the reward of seeing these elusive birds, ptarmigan, makes the effort worthwhile.

This male was keeping a close eye on us as we watched him and his partner, making their way through the powdery snow near the top of the mountain.
