R.E. Johnson 1966 Journal 15 Spar Lake, 3300 Ft., Lincoln Co., Montana June 16 Up early (5 AM) for breakfast and then collecting. Ames & Conard followed a road to the N.E. along the lake. Russell, Moore, & myself followed the road to the south that I had followed the night before. Initially we travelled together, but gradually we separated, Russell covering the greatest distance (beyond the S. end of the lake & on to the Spar Lookout Trail). Collecting was poor. A number of birds were heard but few could be seen, because they were in the tree tops or deep in the forest. Those shot were difficult to retrieve because of the dense forest understory. Apparently the road cut does not provide sufficient edge for species such as Oregon Junco, etc. Strangely, no Jays or Woodpeckers were seen (also no nuthatches or chickadees). One gets the impression of a very sterile forest. Species seen included: Robin, Varied Thrush, or heard Swainson Thrush, Chipping Sparrow, Wilson Warbler, Audubon Warbler, Hammond Flycatcher, Winter Wren, Pine Siskin, & Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The Winter Wren occurs in the deep forests adjacent each loved fast stream. The Thrushes and Hammond Flycatcher are the most common species in the dense forests.
