Title: Winter Phased Ptarmigan
Post by: WCTaxidermy on May 13, 2009, 07:53:16 PM: 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 :yike: 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 ;) John
