Description
This willow ptarmigan exhibits some colours of feathers which blend quite perfectly with its environnement. That's amazing at that time of the year - august - which there is already the fall with every berries trees becoming yellow to red.

They walk by families, crossing the roads quite often (because they like to eat small stones to help them digesting the hard leaves they eat). When I stopped to watch them, I noticed they were very sociable when I approached, still quietly and slowly.
