Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 May 27 Squaw Valley, Placer Co., Calif. (cont.) average. Horned Larks were not found on these peaks either since they offer little flat "tundra" type vegetation. Robins, Andubons Warblers, Juncos, White-crowned Sparrows, and Mtn. Bluebirds were common & 1 Clarke Nutcracker was heard (down the so. slope). Returning to Emigrant Pk rosy finches were again spotted & one was collected at 4:40 PM & another at 5:05 PM. On the ridge between Needle Pk & the old unnamed peak a nest was found on the ground, placed between large rocks (1 ft. 2 rocks). The cap of grass had an inside diameter of 3 1/4 inches & was 1 1/2 inches deep. On the ridge Pks further NW look more barren & perhaps they have either rosy fincher or horned larks. These peaks are not so high (eg. Lyon Pk, 8871 ft). I next traversed south to Squaw Pk. In the process I heard 2 rock wrens & at the top of Siberia Lift saw one rosy finch & a flock (5-7) of Cliff Swallows. I saw 2 other rosy finches on the sw slope of the peak & 2 (not together) on the snow above the cliffs on the NE face of the pk. I returned down via the ridge east from Squaw Pk
