Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 August 6 Leigh Lake & vicinity, Lincoln Co., Montana (Cont.) considerable goat hair on trees along the N.S. ridge. The ridge & pks are timbered [very open stands] with alpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) & White-bark Pine. Below the east face on the meadows are many larch trees. Vegetation (herbs, etc.) on the peak itself includes: Huckleberry (dwarf), Creeping Juniper, Red & White Heathers (Phyllodoce), Penstemon ellipticus, Alum root, Yarrow, spotted Sagrfrage, Mtn. Hairbell. The top of the peak was not reached. August 7 Leigh Lake & vicinity, Lincoln Co., Montana Clouds pouring in overhead at 7AM. Rain by 8AM. Cloudy [low - never could see top of Snowshoe Pk] all day with high winds from west. Returned via 2nd route to Snowshoe Pk to get 2 remaining Rosy finches. Found one (Juvenile) but the (adult) other was gone [ledge empty]. It had been very securely lodged, suggesting an aerial predator may have found it [can't be reached by mammals]. Once a couple Rosy Finch voices were heard nearby, but the bulk of the birds are absent today. Other birds: Clark Nutcracker, Pine Siskin, Oregon Junco. Searched below the cliffs and found one dead Juv. Rosy Finch at approx. the location where the missing adult would have fallen. Perhaps I was wrong about the age of the missing bird or perhaps this is another bird that I shot yesterday & didn't locate. Hiked down via same route as I had come up. Explored
