Ptarmigan

Voted 10/10

Is a grouse the same as a ptarmigan? They look very much alike. Anyway, great photo!

	Hasn't voted	Good question. I checked and the biggest difference is the tail. A ptarmigan has a narrow tail and a grouse can put it's tail feathers out much like a turkey. As for which one this falls under I don't know. I was looking for Bears and Moose that day so I did not hang out long enough to find out which one this bird is. Thanks for the comments and Happy Trails. -Trevor-
