R.E. Johnson 1967 44 Journal 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
