3 Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 May 21 Squaw Valley, Placer Co., California (cont.) with snow. On this bare section a number of birds fed along gargling snow-melt streams, snow edges, and in the mud. These included White-crowned Sparrows, a Chipping Sparrow, Oregon Juncos, a Robin, and a Rosy Finch. Mtn Bluebirds flew over on several occasions. On one occasion the rosy finch flew to a rocky area on the edge of the muddy area & chirped. I though I also heard some young birds chirp. The bird flew away however toward the cliffs to the north. I searched much of the rocky area located no nest or young. Continuing upward west I reached Emigrant Pk. Horned Larks were common, both in flocks of approx 10 & as singing individuals. One Water Pipit was seen at close range!! A picture was taken with 350mm lens the north at an unknown high distant peak. I can't imagine what it could be. Too pointed for Lassen, too close for Shasta, etc. It was located to the right of Granite Chief & to the left of the previously photographed pks. On the ridge running south from Emigrant Pk numerous Rosy Finches Mtn Bluebirds
