Beautiful photo of the Ptarmigan. I really enjoy seeing the wildlife shots on this site. How close were you when you took the picture?

thanks. i was really close to this guy when i took the photo, the camera was maybe two feet away while he was munching on that tuft of a shrub. there was a group of 3 ptarmigans that got pretty comfortable living around us for a few weeks while we were at a remote camp. this one almost ate out of my hand but hissed at me when i got too close.
