Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 July 8 Strawberry Mtn., Grant Co., Oregon (cont.) above Little Strawberry Lake, is more rugged, has no timber on its slopes, and is not unlike some Rosy Finch habitats. It is lower than Strawberry Mtn and timber reaches the top from the south side. (9044 ft) Strawberry Mtn is a large talus cone located north of the main E-W chain of mtus. (white-bark pine, fir) timber extends up to 8500 ft. around it. Above this only low plants grow including a purple Phacelia, Alum Root, Sedum sp., Penstemon virens (?), phlox (pink or white), cinquefoil and Eriogonum sp (yellow). There are no cliffs or cirques on the main pk. Below 8500 ft on the NW are a few low cliffs & head of Overholt Creek. a small snow pack. These are less impressive than the area above Little Strawberry Lake. The foundation of an old lookout is located on top of the mtn. It is 2 miles from roads end to the top of the mtn. A Mtn Bluebird (?) was seen at timberline on the north side. I dropped down the north side to the top of the lowest snow field (in the largest cirque) at 10AM. A pika was heard and several chipmunks were seen. A Rock Wren sang from a talus slope to a juncos (appeared to be pink-sided') flew from near the snow. Rosy Finches were seen at the top of the snow area on a low (5 ft.) cliff. They appear to have gray cheeks (littoralis). Collected one with a typical littoralis head pattern. A Mtn. Bluebird nest
