Willow Ptarmigan - she was spotted up by the firehouse
on May 16th, 2000 by my daughter Darya and me. The range is usually
Arctic regions - lives in the tundra. The Maine Audubon Society
sent representatives down May 17th to see the bird and they confirmed
that it is a Willow Ptarmigan. It looks like he has white fur
boots and he is not afraid of cars, trucks or people - I hope
it can survived the dogs, cats and foxes. Just click here to see some more pictures of it and information about the three other times a Willow Ptarmigan has been sighted in Maine.
