Today as we returned from a hike to Lake Haiyaha we found a ptarmigan feeding just off the trail above Nymph Lake. It was in full summer plumage and seemed unconcerned about the folks who stopped to watch. We've never seen them this low. One man insisted it was a wild chicken. Also, on the upper part of the trail near where it levels out in a climax forest we heard a chorus of Swainson's thrushes in all directions calling and answering, a symphony of flutes.
