Today’s new bird in the Birdorable Bonanza is this cute Willow Ptarmigan. In winter this bird is completely white, allowing it to blend in with the snow, while the rest of the year it becomes mostly marble brown.
It’s known as the Willow Grouse in Europe and Willow Ptarmigan in North America. It lives in the forests and moorlands of Scotland, Scandinavia, Siberia, Canada and Alaska, where it has been the state bird since 1955.
