Looks like Fairbanks has many ptarmigans living there. Would be a sight to see in winter. 8-)

Ptarmigans are cute little birds.

They are, especially in winter.

They're dove-like, though I'm sure much bigger.

Very pretty.

Ptarmigans are about the size of a pigeon. They are grouses and related to pheasant and turkey.
