White-tailed Ptarmigan (chick), Lagopus leucura Cascade Mountains, British Columbia, Canada
Canon 5DM3 | Canon 70-200mm f/4 | 1/1250th | f/4.5 | ISO 320 Hi everyone, Myself, Glenn Bartley and Connor Stefanison just returned from a short trip to the Cascade Mountains of southwest British Columbia. Our main targets were two of the chickens found in this region. Namely: Sooty Grouse and White-tailed Ptarmigans. We were successful in finding several of both species and had a great time photographing them in their beautiful, mountainous environments. Having photographed adult White-tailed Ptarmigans several times before, I spent most of my time with the tennis ball-sized youngsters. I was amazed at how independent they were at such a young age, often straying 20 metres or more from mom, gleaning insects from the alpine vegetation. I was glad to be able to include some pink mountain heather in this shot; adding a splash of colour but also showing how tiny these guys are! Can't wait to get back into some great mountains with some great friends again. Best of luck, |
