Ptarmigan - Lagopus mutus
The
ptarmigan is a land bird which stays here all year round.
It is white in color and the tail sides are black in
winter. During the summer the ptarmigan is kind of golden
on the sides. Its sides of its head are red and orange
in color.
The
ptarmigan is different from other birds because its legs
are covered with feathers. It feeds on berries. It has
two stomachs. One is used for storing food, and the other
is used for digestion and is called a gizzard.
The
ptarmigan is sometimes shot during the fall or winter
for food. When it is eaten, it tastes something like
reindeer.
During
the winter, the ptarmigan fly in by flocks, and when
spring comes, they fly in pairs thinking of having eggs.
They lay eight to ten eggs a year. The nest is a poorly
lined hollow on the tundra.
The
ptarmigan cries when it takes off, and when it lands.
So even when it is not seen, it can be heard landing
or taking off by just its sound. For a small bird, it
has a deep voice that sounds dry and brittle.
