Willow Ptarmigan are so prevalent that they are the state birds. Live in the tundra above treeline. "Always uphill..."
Hunted Mt. Fairplay from 3300' to 4000'. Found a covey of sharptails on the way up and Burf got to experience Kali at her best.

| Look beside Emil's right ear and you'll see see Denali Peak, 275 miles to the southwest. Big mountain! |

| Kali snoozing in a blueberry patch. Picked a bunch for supper. |

| Truck just visible above Burf's hat. 6.59 mile hike. Unfortunately, no Ptarmigan. Everything else was awesome. |
