R.E.Johnson 1967 Journal August 1 Cabinet Mtns, Bonner Co., Idaho (cont.) huckleberries as I more leisurely ascended the ridge heading east toward Scotchman #2. Between (point 6536ft. & Scotchman #2 is a sizable cirque with (with shallow(25ft.) lake.) a large nw facing wall (a few trees grow from it) to a large snow patch below (300x50 ft.), but very little meadow or [illegible] herby slopes for feeding. From here on up the ridge small cirques with snow in them are found on the sw. side of the ridge. (That noticeable yellow on sides)(at 9:40AM) An Empidonax flycatcher was collected from the ridgtop silently at 6500ft. The bird had moved back and forth from tree to tree (max. tree ht is 20ft, most trees 5-10 ft.), never on sunny perches or on top. Trees are Fir (Abies) & White bark pine. A few trees of both species reach the top (not on summit rocks) of Scotchman #2. The cirque below (no. of) the top has snow and several small meadows with ponds in them. There are scattered groups of trees but the cirque is mostly open boulder slides & stair-stopping ledges. Clark's Nutcracker is commonly heard from the cirque. Perhaps the fact that rosy finches were usually nesting above timberline is related to the presence of the Nutcracker at lower elevations which is a major nest predator on Finches. A group of 6 Swifts (Black or Vaux's) flew west over the pk at 11:10 AM At 11:30 AM a Rosy Finch was heard on the SE slope. I pursued the sounds and noted several young birds in tree tops and several adults (at least 3). I collected a
