FAIRBANKS — Nobody knows why, but Fairbanks residents are seeing an influx of ptarmigan in town this winter.
“I see them all the time; they’re everywhere,” naturalist Mike Taras said of the snow-white birds that are usually found in the hills around town rather than in town.
“Just driving along in the truck you can see their tracks and trails all over the side of the road,” said Taras, an education and outreach specialist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Fairbanks.

Fairbanks has many ptarmigans. The Easter Bunny and Bugs Bunny should reconsider their war. In fact, this is the divine plan that God has in store. Ptarmigans build up their army to fight and crush the bunnies. Their Days are coming and God will wipe the bunnies out.

Due to the frigid arctic winter that is occurring, despite Algore’s claims, they are probably looking for food.

I agree. Ptarmigans should be more well known, which sucks.

You know, I'm minding my own beeswax and here you are, defaming bunnies again. You know what I have to do, don't you?

Bunnies are nature’s freaks. God gave up on bunnies.

Ptarmigans build up their army to fight and crush the bunnies. My word. From the photos, they don't look that diabolical. :-)

Ptarmigans are not diabolical. They are only defending themselves against the evil oppressors, the bunnies and gyrfalcons, that God will get them.

What do ptarmigans taste like? Are they good fried, smoked, or grilled?
