"Far above timberline in mountains of the west lives this elusive little ptarmigan, the smallest member of the grouse family in North America. While the other ptarmigan are strictly northern, this one follows the cordillera of the high Rockies as far south as New Mexico. Easily overlooked, it may crouch motionless as hikers pass close by."

Ptarmigan!! A little puffball and an even littler puffball!!

[ID: an illustration of an adult ptarmagin with a chick, on a mottled blue background with some stylized leaves. The adult is a round, white bird with red eyebrows, and the chick is a little fuzzy brown striped bird standing to its left. End.]

Hi! I was wondering if you would consider making a few pieces with ptarmigans on them. They aren't a popular subject for pottery 😂 I bought one of your spaniel plates a while ago and I'd love a ptarmigan plate to display with it if you'd be willing to add ptarms to one of your next rounds of carving!

I've had references for ptarmigans for awhile now, with the intention of turning them into pottery. I had a cute idea for them in their winter colours. I'll have to dig those references out and do some sketching
