Description
I was out hiking in the mountains this September, when I came across a Ptarmigan a couple feet in front of me. So i tried to get some photos of it. It didn't seem too bothered by me following it and it led me on a wild goose chase around the face of the mountain. Always staying about 8 feet in front of me but always ducking behind a rock when I went to get a photo. All-in-all a fun time and this is one of my fave shots from the trip.
