What's the state bird of Alaska? If you answered Moose-quito, then you get partial credit for understanding the size and verocity of Alaska's mosquito population....but the answer is the Willow Ptarmigan. Here's a picture of some closely related rock ptarmigan. They are masters of disguise. This is a picture someone else took of a group of ptarmigan before they changed to white plummage this fall. How many can you find camouflaged against the rocks? I'll give the answer next week.
