    Still slogging my way through day 1 of Iceland picture. Only 13 more days to review!
    Canon 1DX 600 mm and 1.4 x
    ISO 1250 SS 1/2000 F 5.6
    Had to add canvas in front of ptarmigan.
    These birds make the greatest guttural "craaauuuk "when they take -off. Very funny and you can hear it at this link www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rock_Ptarmigan/sounds
    These guys turn completely white by winter. Ann P.was talking to a fellow from Iceland who told her these birds are hunted during winter and each family is allowed 12 per year. I guess this ptarmigan becomes the Christmas turkey "a la icelandic"!
    Comments and critiques always learned from and apprecuated with thanks,
