Sitka/Willow Ptarmigan
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Sitka Summary: Probably Uncommon in appropriate habitat, though numbers vary. Likely under reported due to cryptic plumage and difficulty of access to habitat. Best chance for observing along the road system is Harbor Mountain Recreation Area. The best near-town observation opportunities are along Harbor-Gavan Trail or Mt. Verstovia Trail close to the tree line.
