Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 July 2 Mt. Thielsen, east boundary of Douglas Co., Oregon (cont.) top, one noisy party of 5 & another of 3 came up the trail. So what did I expect over July 4 weekend? Takes about 2 easy hrs. to summit. One Rock Wren heard on the sw slope which the trail ascents. Rosy Finchers heard several times & seen at least once on this slope, however they are probably mainly on the east, north & nw faces of the peak which are steeper & more snowy. Cliffs drop approx 2000 ft on the e. & n. sides. Cassin's Finches were seen twice on the cliffs at 8500 ft. Violet-green Swallows circled around the top of the peak (9182 ft.). A Raven was seen 1/2 way down the e. face. Clarke Nutcrakers could be heard down the sw slope. My route on the peak was as follows: up trail to top, down south ridge to saddle with pk to south, diagonally across sw Face(which trail ascends) to west ridge, up west ridge to top, down south ridge & then east down snow to bottom of east cirque, return up snow to ridge, down to trail & back to Diamond Lake. Total estimated climbing for day: over 7000 ft. Puff. Rosy Finches were frequently heard chirping, yet they could not be located.
