Late winter and early spring can be a challenging time for birding – many of the winter species are beginning to move on, but migration has yet really start. But there are always wonderful things to see, and a mid-March excursion to Cape Race with one group of intrepid clients paid off with this — great looks at one of their “target” birds! This Willow Ptarmigan, sporting transitional plumage, gave us great looks right along the road!
