R.E. Johnson 1967 Journal 37 June 26 Crater Lake National Park, Oregon Bright sunny day, scattered hazy clouds. Spent morning with Mr. Bruce (Chief Park Naturalist) and Dick Brown (Park Biologist) at Park Headquarters. Mr. Brown indicated that he had collected 5 Rosy Finches on the snow fields se. of Rim Village Lodge in May (?) to be used in a display at Mt. Rainier National Park. I then looked over the snow fields mentioned (noon) and found no Rosy Finches, but they may occur there. Many patches of bear ground are exposed and they look as though the area will be more xeric than the higher area near Dyar Rock where I collected yesterday. There do not appear to be many insects on the snow at either location & it may be significant that, as yet, no Finches have been observed feeding on the snow, but only at snow margins. We also looked in the Crater Lake collection & located 3 of the 4 specimens (#'s 417, 289, 291) mentioned in Farmer's "Birds of Crater Lake National Park". A specimen at Sinnott Memorial Lookout @ at Rim Village (collected at Vidale Ridge) is apparently # 290 (couldn't see the # on the label). Mr. Brown volunteered the use of the NPS Freezer and lab to do my work. This I gratefully accepted, especially the lab since the mosquito-eater niche does not seem to be filled in this park. Dick Brown accompanied me back to Dyar
