I know, it's been a while. So here's a quick one to get me started again. You know these guys.
I took this picture while hunting for ptarmigan, wolves, fox and whatever on the Denali Highway. The mountains in the background are part of the Alaska Range. We stayed two nights in the cabin just visible in the bottom right of the picture. We had to ride about ten miles on snow machines to get there. This was the morning of the last day. The clouds moved out and the temp dropped like crazy. Awesome view.
This is a sleeping ptarmigan. I wanted to show the detail of the Alaska state bird. The red above the eye is not from injury, I don't know what it's for, courting I suppose.
