Observation details
Either a Sooty Grouse or a White-tailed Ptarmigan. We recorded audio of what is an apparent hen calling her chick, who eventually joined her, but they remained in thick brush. We never saw more than a vague outline of both through the vegetation. We later heard a bona fide hen Ptarmigan who gave a very different vocalization. I could not find any good audio matches on xeno-canto. The chick can be heard giving a single peep at the 25.5 second mark.
