Journal R.E.Johnson 1967 July 7 Frenchglen, Harney Co., to Indian Spring Camp, Malheur National Forest, Grant Co., Oregon (cont.) Visited Malheur National Wildlife Refuge at 1pm. Talked to Mr. Scharff and to the Biologist (Carroll Littlefield). They indicated that the Biologist assigned to the refuge last year had seen Black Rosy Finches from East Rim View. Very friendly people. Drove on north to Burns, then to Seneca (via US 395) & turned east on a dirt road leading past Parish Cabin Camp & eventually a fork turning north to Indian Spring Camp (tall timber, good water, otherwise no facilities). Strawberry Mtn. (9044') is only about 2 miles from the end of this road. July 8 Strawberry Mtn, Grant Co., Oregon clear, sunny. Drove to end of road. Two hundred yards before rds end is a "Wild Area View Point" where one can see the north face of many of the peaks to the east of Strawberry Mtn. These all have timber to the top & are lower, though they have rugged north faces (with timber growing out from the ledges, etc) & some snow. There is no doubt that Rosy Finches do not occur on them. 9:AM From the top of Strawberry Mtn one gets a more complete view of the north face of the mtns referred to above. In general they are rugged but not cliffs and all are below timberline. However one area, the cliffs USFS # 162 USF SRD # 1539
