Media notes
This has been a typical roosting location for the WTPT during the day; In the open burrowed into the snow, tucked up against a rock on the sunny side.
Observation details
Mine was still here in front of the house. Found it on the west side of the point. Found a second one on Eagle Point at the entrance into the recreation site bay. The tracks of both indicated they were feeding on willow buds. When I went back around noon to photograph the one near the house it was roosting in the snow under a small Willow brush. The following video and the last photograph were taken on a third visit when the Ptarmigan was roosting out on the open.
