I drove the two hours to Loveland Pass west of Denver to look for White-tailed Ptarmigan, which have been seen there consistently throughout this year. I arrived a bit after 8:00 am and spent five hours hiking around at 11,900 feet. I had a great time, and saw some fun stuff, but didn’t get a whiff of a ptarmigan.
