Journal 56 R.E.Johnson 1966 West Fork Yaak River, 5000 ft., Lincoln Co., Montana (cont.) that these are small yellow soft bodied larvae (?) which form a layer continuous from the top to the bottom of the snow. A Varied Thrush nest was located 12 ft. up in a 15 ft tree and contained 3 blue(turqoise?) eggs with purple spots. An adult flew off calling & her mate and several other species joined here in falling from nearby trees. These "helpers" included a Pine Grosbeak, 2 Chipping Sparrows, a Vireo (sp?), a Hermit Thrush, & 2 Robins. Note: Townsend Solitaires are more common in these mountains than anywhere that I have been. They occur at the highest locations at which some trees occur. Mating flights & song were often observed. July 11 We drove from our camp at Yaak to Bonnets Ferry, Spokane, Pasco, Bend (Oregon), and a little further south, camping on private lumber company land (lodgepole & ponderosa pine with sage understory — wide spaced trees). Nighthawks, Empidonax Flycatchers, & Hermit Thrushes could be heard. July 12. We drove on to Berkeley via Klamath Falls & Redding.
