As you are all aware at this point, there is a very cooperative Willow
Ptarmigan on Point Peninsula in Jefferson County. It was observed by
several groups most of the afternoon until at least 7pm. The ptarmigan
seem very unconcerned about anything going on around it, and was feeding
most of the time we watched it. It was feeding on willow buds in a tree
that was almost overhanging the water, and occasionally dropped down to
the waters edge. The previously posted directions are excellent for
getting right to the spot.

There is an eBird hotspot set up for this bird, take advantage of it
when you report it so all of the pins are at one spot and its easy to
look through all of the records. It's name is - "stakeout Willow
Ptarmigan--Point Peninsula, S Shore"
