Summary (from http://www.sitkanature.org/wordpress/2007/07/19/daily-observations-230/ )

Just where the trail leaves the trees, I saw a family of Willow Ptarmigan, including the two parents and 8 chicks. I noticed they were eating vegetation and then coulde see where they had eaten ferns and hawkweed leaves.
