Shorebird (Seward, AK)

I am thinking a wandering tattler?

Best and safest way to see the state bird (Willow ptarmigans)?

Hi folks! I am traveling to Alaska this month (Alaska and Seward) to see birds. I have been entranced by the famed willow ptarmigans, so I would absolutely love to witness them irl, ideally up close. However, I am traveling by myself, so I am worried about bears if I venture too far out into the wild. I understand that these encounters are very dependent on luck, but is there a way to maximize my chance of seeing them?

It feels a little embarrassing sometimes.

Just went to an occupational health appointment today and was asked to identify numbers on those Ishihara plates. I said "3" and the provider was obviously a little surprised and asked "could you tell me where you see the '3'?" So I traced the number with my finger. I'm sure she was doing her job but it did feel a bit awkward :\ (Not looking for advice, just venting)
