Rock Ptarmigan
Back to Iceland archive...One of four male ptarmigans we saw, this one from the the road to Asburgi from Myvatn. It set on a rock, and was unfazed by my slow approach with the 600, 1.4x, and monopod. Interesting fact: Male with the largest and best maintained red combs have the most breeding success the first year they try. it equalizes the following season.
