While on yet another (unsuccessful) snowshoe expedition to find White-tailed Ptarmigan in the Wallowas mid last week, I overheard some ODFW guys mention that a cursory assessment of the higher elevations of Strawberry Mountain Wilderness in Grant Co has found that there is suitable habitat for Himalayan Snowcock and they are considering an introduction program with excess Ruby Mountain birds. So, we may have a new bird for the OR list down the road if they choose to do so. If you've got time, that is ... Stefan SchlickHillsboro, OR
