LIDICKER 1965 (June 27 cont.) over resident long-toms. Saw and 3 photos of the spot. 6 miles further we stopped again & identified McCown's Long-tom (a colony of them) Crows Vapor storms, Lionel [illegible] ducks. Dr Browning, we turned N on US. 2 onto US. 89. 9 miles from Browning we saw a large group against which was definitely C. columbianus. Card. on US 89 to St. Mary where we entered Glacier Natl. Park, & went over Logan Pass. It was very windy, cold, & with much rain & snow, making observations difficult. We took a few photographs anyway, but did not see any int. geats. We went through Ajax & set up camp in the Fish Creek Campground. More rain during evening at night. C. columbianus is common in campground; also on a few cliffsides (aureola or minima) & Tamiasciurus. June 28 Started camp & headed NW on the North Fork Rd. toward Bowman Lake. Stopped at a place called Love Pine Prairie to tax lunch, bird, & take 2 photos. This spot is 24 miles from Fish Cr. Campground ~ 9 miles from Lake Bowmer. C. columbianus was common in this meadow but seemed to be scattered
