R.E. Johnson 1966 Journal 46 West Fork Yaak River, 5000 ft., Lincoln Co., Montana (cont.) July 6 We all drove to Hawkins Lakes, passing 3 Black Bear in the cutover area along the way. Our Wolverine traps were empty. We set 2 more (i.e., 1 setting, 2 traps). I hiked to the upper lake and around the NW side climbing the ridge and going south to the top of Northwest Pk (7700 ft.). The ridge has some turf (Glacier Lily, Juncus, etc) but no birds utilizing it for nesting. The peak is a huge boulder pile (size approx. 1-2 ft diameter) with an old lookout bldg. on top. A fringe of trees grows along the north edge of the peak above the cirque occupied by the upper lake. A Raven flew over & an Oregon Junco was seen in the trees, otherwise no birds were seen on top. A large cirque on the NW side of Davis Mtn. can be seen and its cliffs appear to be the best Rosy Finch habitat yet seen. Perhaps I can make a trip there tomorrow. I returned to the truck by taking the trail from the peak toward the east to a spring just below the boulders and then following a rocky timbered ridge down between the upper and middle Hawkins Lakes. I collected a Townsend Solitaire high on this ridge & heard a Varied Thrush (?) making distress calls, possibly indicating a nearby nest.
