Lagopus mutus
20 August cont-
above camp. Two more adult ?7? seen on rocky moraine by the
little lake-one shot.
2 August Jugo Lake- adult ?7? seen on the
rock stripe by T6. My eyes falcon
was flying in the area, and the ptarmigan
refused to fly when I approached. It escaped
by running in and among the rocks.
3 August Jugo Lake- four adult mules were
flushed off the steep slope of the moraine
on the east shore of Jugo Lake.
26 August Jugo Lake. Between 2100 & 2130 two
groups of ptarmigan consisting of 4 &
5 birds were seen on barren type
ground on the moraine end of the lake.
When approached within 20 yds the
birds flew up and away across the
lake. Apparently they were shooting
for the night on this ground. Being
completely open ground they had no
access to escape by flight in any
direction.
