June 28 Dutton Ridge, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon (cont.)
basis of his records from Lolo Rock.
June 29 Mt. Scott, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon (8926)
This is the highest peak in the park, but it
lies 2 1/2 miles east of the Rim and apparently has a
somewhat different microclimate. Most of the mtn is
timbered, but there is a west or nw facing cirque
of scree with a few Nw facing cliffs and lots
of snow below them. On the se corner of
the peak is a n-s running cliff overlooking
snow to the east. Considering the other places
rosy
where finches have been seen in the park, these
locations look adequate, though snow margins are
less common & cliffs aren't as high. No
Rosy Finches were seen however. Rock Wrens
were heard on the east & west faces & Mtn
Bluebirds were seen on the west ridge of cliffs.
(Farmer saw Rosy Finch on Aug 25, 1948 on Mt. Scott).
June 29 Cloudcap, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
Hiked from Rim Rd north cross country to road on
(8070)
Cloudcap & vicinity. Saw no birds & habitat
seems inappropriate for Rosy Finches. Few snow-
meadow borders, considerable timber, and a large
west facing dry meadow with many flowers. No
cliffs in view from the top, they do occur down-
slope to the west. A Townsend Solitaire singing
