Description
A male willow ptarmigan in spring breeding plumage. Each spring in Alaska, willow cocks establish breeding territories and display to attract hens. Their loud, raucous calls and colorful plumage is a rite of spring. Often males perch on prominent trees, shrubs, or snowbanks to watch over their territory and protect their hen. Unlike other grouse, the male helps its mate rear the brood, eggs hatched in early June.
