Thanks! Not sure about the color change.... Found this guy on top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff, AB.

Honestly...I have no clue what the difference is. I overheard someone calling it a Ptarmigan so I figured thats what it was. My first instinct was "bush chicken"..lol, aka grouse. They look the same to me. I just love them.

Lucky you to see one this close. :) Unless I see a pure white one, I can't tell whether it's a Ptarmigan or grouse either. :P

I see them often... they wander around my yard. I unfortunately never have my camera handy. This time..I was armed! ;)
