See Lakes (see June 24) & Lake Van Norden, however, are surrounded by what is apparently ideal Junco & Chipping Sparrow habitat at this season: dry, sparsely herb-covered ground under not too dense lodgepole pines. July 100 Juncoos were seen in 1 hr. 25 min. spent (motor over ½ mi. travelled) in such area at Ice Lakes on Aug. 24,
