Fisher Mountain Ptarmigans

Yesterday, I climbed Fisher Mountain, 12,865, and had a terrific day up there viewing the rest of the Weminuche Wilderness. On the assent trail, I spotted 5 White-tailed Ptarmigan, which made the day very special. This is not a place to go and get this species necessarily as there are easier places in these mountains. Anyway, got down just ahead of the afternoon lightening. Other cool birds included Northern Three-toed Woodpecker and Dusky Grouse.
