The leaves aren’t the only things changing colors—ptarmigan are too! White-tailed ptarmigan turn white in the winter, and they have brown speckled feathers in the summer. This seasonal change helps them blend in. People’s layers also change around this time of the year! If you’re planning to visit Glacier in the fall, be prepared for quickly changing weather and cold nights, along with limited services as roads and facilities begin to close for the season (find current info at nps.gov/glac).

did you see it? ptarmigan are a game bird that is found in northern regions. much like other species which live in variable climates with snow, their outer coat of feathers changes color so that they may blend in with their surroundings. unfortunately for them, but perhaps fortunately for their predators, they think they’re better at hiding than they realize, so one can actually get quite close before they are spooked.

The bird in the image is a male Willow Ptarmigan This individual is in its early summer breeding plumage, characterized by the distinctive white body and the rich chestnut-red feathers on its head and neck. A key feature distinguishing the Willow Ptarmigan is its thick, wide bill. These birds have a wide range across northern regions like Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavia, and they primarily feed on willow leaves, buds, and twigs.
