Thank you so many times to Ryan Merrill for his original posting, to
Michael Donohue for his additional information and to Mike (don't know
his last name) for helping me find the White-tailed Ptarmigan (WTPT), a
life bird, yesterday.
The sightings of these six long-sought birds made a nice hike, even
nicer.

I had hiked the trail to Panorama Point and on through last Thursday but
did not find the WTPT. I did have nice views of a beautiful male
Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch (GCRF) at the point and many American Pipets
(AMPI) along the Skyline Trail.
