Winter Phased Ptarmigan

Here are two more I just finished. The first bird pictured will be going to a Museum to be displayed in an Arctic Diorama. The second bird is a customers bird.
You are not going to believe it, but the first pictured birds craw was so full, it had just over a full cup of food from the tundra in it
For a small bird, that is a lot of food. I have never ran across that full of a craw before on a smaller game bird. Talk with you all soon

The bird is very nice, but the habitat really makes the mount extra nice. love the ice crystals inthe twigs.
