snöripa

[Swedish] plural snöripor

Ptarmigan. For much of the year the ptarmigan is simlar to the red or willow grouse, with a touch of white on the wings. In winter both sexes become pure white (as does the willow grouse). However, its habitiat is quite different as it prefers barren, stony mountain slopes, usually higher up than the willow grouse.
