EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between the early 1900s and the 1930s, showcases the stunning transformation of the ptarmigan's plumage according to the changing seasons. The ptarmigan, a native bird species of the northern hemisphere, is known for its unique ability to blend in with its surroundings. In this image, we see a collection of these birds, each displaying their distinct colors. During the winter months, they are camouflaged in pristine white, while in the summer, their brown and gray feathers help them blend into their alpine habitats. This photograph, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Alaskan frontier during the 20th century. The meeting of the frontiers - the wild, untamed wilderness of the Alaskan landscape and the human curiosity to explore and document it - is beautifully captured in this image. The ptarmigan, a symbol of the diverse wildlife found in North America, adds to the rich ornithological heritage of the United States. The close-up, black and white portrait of these birds invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the beauty of the natural world. This photograph is a testament to the importance of preserving our natural heritage and the role of scientific exploration in understanding the world around us.
