Marvin Cooper and I searched the Skyline Trail at Paradise for White-tailed
Ptarmigan yesterday, and came up dry. We scoured the different places where
they have been reported, three locations by our count, but to no avail. I'll
just have to wait to check this "nemesis bird" off my list. I am now at six
tries without seeing it, rumor has it that Dennis Rockwell went 13 times
before success. Can anyone confirm (or top) this?
