R.E. Johnson 1967 29 Journal June 18 Warren Peak, Warner Mtns, Modoc Co., California (cont.) the top of the cliffs, but not the slightest indication of them. Perhaps the forest on top indications that conditions (temp, etc.) are too warm or etc. for rosy finches. The habitat reminds me very much of the Purcell Mtns of NW Montana were I was unable to find rosy finches. In both cases the cirques & cliffs were big & snow was abundant, but trees reached the tops of most peaks from one side. The tree cover areas also, suggesting a dry climate. not only may indicate climatic conditions but it prevents the slope which it occupies from serving as a feeding location for finches. Warren Peak is very warm today in spite of black clouds above. It was also warm in camp last night at a lower elevation. This sort of temp in June may be prohibitive for rosy finches. The cliffs are alive however. Violet-green Swallows are circling around them in considerable numbers. Mtn. Bluebirds are common among the cliffs. One pair of Oregon Juncos was seen, one member was picking up nesting material on the cliff. One Clarkes Nuthacker was seen flying below the cliffs. One Rock Wren was heard singing halfway down the cleft and later from boulders just sw of the top. The snow does not appear to have many insects, however many have lit upon me as I write these notes on top of Warren Peak. The view is great. Goose Lake, Alturas, the 3 Alkali Lakes & a
