This photograph, taken by renowned wildlife photographers Tom and Pat Leeson, showcases the tender love and protection of a mother towards her offspring in their alpine habitat. 2. The White-tailed Ptarmigan, scientifically known as Lagopus leucurus, is a subalpine grouse native to the Pacific Northwest and North America.
