  • There are few birds whose vocalizations are as comical as those of the Willow Ptarmigan. The Lab's Charles Eldermire describes the experience of hearing this "Arctic grouse" first hand.

    So... how many people here are coming from the Daily Show video where the bird calling champ imitated the Willow Ptarmigan? She was spot on, and Trevor Noah was just his usual witty self.

    Raiders of The Lost Ark was released on June 12th, 1981, well before the internet was commercially available to everyone, and before CGI. Ben Burtt was the sound designer for the film, who also did both Star Wars Trilogies and the other two Indiana Jones films after: Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade. It was already confirmed by IMDB that there was an error in geography that a ptarmigan was heard in the background, alongside another bird that can be heard that's only found in Europe.

    I just stumbled across a flock of willow ptarmigans in Hatcher's Pass, near Palmer, on September Alaska. At first they were quiet but then I heard the Munchkin like voices. I wish I had a recorder with me! There were a dozen of them and they all began to echo each other. My favorite sound was "i SWEAR to it!", which several of them shouted in turn as I got near them. Your track captures this sound at 1:22 but I must have heard it 7 times in one minute.

    I love the sounds these birds make. I've just been to Alaska this June and we saw a Willow Ptarmigan on our bus tour through Denali. My dad got a photo of what was a male, but it wasn't until the rest of the tour, that I realized that the Ptarmigan call was actually used in Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark, which begs me to ask one question. How did a bird only indigenous to the northern part of North America end up in a rain forest in South America?

    Imagine this.
    I was reading a lighthearted novel, you see. And there was one sentence that made me quite confused. It mentioned something along the lines of "tittering like a delighted Willow Ptarmigan."
    What the heck is a "Willow Ptarmigan" I asked myself. I had to look it up in google before proceeding with the story reading. And found out it is a type of bird. Intrigued, I decided to watch youtube video about it to hear how it sounds like. And what a sound it was! It had me laughing out loud and drying my eyes from tears that were squeezed out from laughing so hard. So when the novel said a character laughed like a "Willow Ptarmigan", it was telling the readers that that character is very bad at laughing. But it is a funny thing to hear nonetheless.
