Birds of America

(State Bird of Alaska)

By John James Audubon, F. R. SS. L. & E.

VOLUME V.

WILLOW PTARMIGAN.
WILLOW GROUSE
[Willow Ptarmigan.]

LAGOPUS ALBUS, Gmel.
[Lagopus lagopus.]

PLATE CCXCIX.--MALE, FEMALE, AND YOUNG.

Although I have not seen this beautiful bird within the limits of the United States, I feel assured that it exists in the State of Maine, as well as in the northern districts bordering on the great lakes. THEODORE LINCOLN, Esq., of Dennisville in Maine, shot seven one day, not many miles from that village; and the hunter who guided me to the breeding-grounds of the Canada Grouse assured me that he also knew where the "Red-necked Partridge" was to be found. The places which he described as frequented by them, seemed to bear as near a resemblance to those in which I found the species in Labrador and Newfoundland, as the difference of latitude and vegetation could admit. I have also seen several skins of individuals that were killed near Lake Michigan.
