July 8 Strawberry Mtn, Grant Co, Oregon (cont.)
in a cliff 15 ft high with overhand above, was visited by both adults simultaneously. The male entered, ♀ waited outside & never entered. The ♂ carried out a white object (fecal sac) & both flew away together.
A Swift (not White-throated) bore past the upper edge of the snow fields. (several return later - Vaux Swift). Rosy Finches were seen again 3 times (one on each occasion) & all were littoralis in head pattern. None could be collected. One sat on a 5-ft. pine & chirped, another fed on moist soil between the rock slides (Buttercups grew on the moist spots).
A Pink-sided Sunc was collected from the top of the Mtn where it was feeding. It had a mouth full of insects and a brood patch - therefore it probably had a nest nearby.
I walked back toward the car on the N-S ridge running south from Strawberry Mtn & ending east of the car at Rd's end (the ridge turns east at this point, but I did not).
Halfway between Rd's end & the High Lake Rd Jct I stopped to pick up arrowheads.
There were many obsidian chips & I found 3 arrow heads in 20 min.
The High Lake road leads to a point of very easy access (less than a mile) to the ridge
