Bird of the Week
White-tailed Ptarmigan
Lagopus leucura
Ptarmigan acquire pure white feathers for camouflage during winter, including large white feathers on their feet - snowshoes! The snowshoes, which they have from September through April, increase the surface area of their feet, thus making it easier to walk on snow.
Birding Site of the Week
San Juan Islands
Puget Trough
A diversity of habitats grace the San Juan Islands, from rocky coastline to oak and grasslands to 2,400-foot Mount Constitution. The Olympic rainshadow means an annual rainfall of about 25 inches. The islands host the highest concentration of nesting Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons in the state.
