Rogey Mt. Natl. Parks
June 29, 1931 Duro Thompson, Lamon Lake
park. Many snow patches still hung
on the mountains and Crystal Lake
was half frozen still. Wild flowers,
blue & gold were in profusion on top
of the divide. Grass plentiful. Rabbits
were feeding in snow-baules and
singing their flight song. Bluebirds,
white-crowned sparrows, hermit thrushes,
and Ruby-crowned Kinglets sang everywhere.
We saw about 15 reddish brown
marmots.
Deer tracks led to the top of the
divide.
One Chickaree was at the cabin
11,000 ft. elevation. One Audibon Warbler.
Concerning the fregong & elk, it must
be noted that no elk sign was in the
valley. Probably elk, if any were there,
were upon the ridges where they stay
in summer time.
