June 28 Garfield Pk to Vidoe Ridge, Crater Lake Nat. Park (cont.)
1:30 PM - pair collected at snow edge by Dyar
Rock. Male most wary. Another or collected from
Tree on Rim nest to Dyar Rock.
June 29 Dutton Ridge, Crater Lake Nat. Park Oregon
Obtained permission to go through locked gate
on Rim Highway (open to public on July 1) & then
explored the ridge from 9 AM to 1 PM. Ridge is
scattered clumps of trees on open pumice meadow
south & s.e. slopes. Large snow patches remain
which form 80% of the ground cover. Slopes
have a very dry appearance. No Rosy Finches
were seen or heard either at snow margins or
on the extensive cliffs overlooking the Lake. The
area differs little from Dyar Rock area, but
is lower (max 8150 but most open areas are well
below 8000 ft. & down to 7300 ft) on the average
(but has a number of areas as high or higher
than near Dyar Rock) & dryer once the snow
has melted. These differences are almost unreal
& I can't believe they can be too important. Perhaps
the fincher feed elsewhere during the heat of the
day or? Farmer crossed out reported them has listed
a number of records & specimens from Dutton
Ridge.
One Horned Lark was seen on the turf at
7900 ft. Farmer reports it from Crater Lake only on the
