SCARCITY OF PTHRMieilN
Whether ptarmigan are subject to
epidemics like rabbits or not, reports
j from the Interior indicate that the
birds are more scarce this year than
for many years. In some sections the
presence of hawks and eagles is given
as the cause of the decimation of the
(prospector’s friend. In the upper
jYentna country, a natural haunt of
the ptarmigan, it is reported that in
dications point to a marked scarcity
of birds as shown by the small coveys
seen in the fall.
Some observers lean to the epide
mic theory through having found the
birds unfit for food late in the spring,
having been made ill after eating.
One prospector counted fifteen
i eagles in one day flying along the hills
|in search of ptarmigan, while from
! one a dozen large hawks put in an
I appearance the same day.
j A marked scarcity in spruce hens
.! (Franklyn grouse) is also reported,
. 1_
the birds being seldom, seen along the
trails that once teamed with them.
