I have been to Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) on several occasions and have always missed seeing the WHITE-TAILED PTARMIGAN. I have walked through the area where they have been reported and "see nary a one". I spoke with one of the rangers at the park and he told me that I had probably just walked by several of them. They are so well camouflaged and "sit tight" that unless you nearly step on one they remain invisible. I still have high hopes of seeing one some day!
