Right habitat, right color, two birds seen well, this is a monogamous species, so a pair of birds sounds right in the spring.

I accept Bennett and Wall's White-tailed Ptarmigan record, mainly because their description is adequate and quite plausable.

Although the description is minimal I feel it's sufficient, along with the description of habitat and behavior, to confirm the identification.
