Ptarmigan

 

Halfway up a mountain hike Sheila and I saw this little guy heading on a path toward us, so I did what any normal person would do in similar circumstances. I laid down on the trail and positioned my camera on the ground between me and the bird, hoping for a chance to get its picture. You've got to get pretty low to be eye-to-eye with a little bird like this one. He seemed unconcerned about my prone display and I waited patiently as he continued my way. I persevered and he eventually wandered into a shootable location. One "click" and he was mine. Another "click" sounded as he struck a pretty pose and now he's yours too.
