R.E. Johnson 1967 127 Journal August 12 Back River, Selkirk Mtns, Boundary Co., Idaho (cont.) a tree & was quickly out of sight. A hen Blue Grouse with 1/2 grown young was located by her clucking as I approached along a logging trail. A drumming sound led me to a male only 100 ft distant which had fanned colorful tail & expanded neck pouches. Drumming sounds seem to involve these pouches & not the wings beating on a log. Two Canada Jays were collected. Spent the afternoon skinning birds collected on August 11 & 12. August 13 Selkirk Mtns to Pleasant Valley Campground Maps for Selkirk Mtns. are very poor: ① Priest Lake Ranger District, Kaniksu Natl Forest 1 inch = 4 miles ② Sandpoint 1:250,000 1958 Tops August 13 Selkirk Mtns to Pleasant Valley Campground, Lincoln Co, Montana Drove back to US 2 & south to Sandpoint (due to apparent car troubles - found no VW dealer) & then north on US 2 through Bonners Ferry & through Libby to Pleasant Valley Campground, 33 miles crossed east of Libby. Took one side trip up the Yaak River to Yaak & also up Pete Creek Rd. Was forced to turn around because of low compression (valves) & barely crept back to highway. Had hoped to descent the Northwest Peak area for Rosy Finches. August 14 west to Kalispell, Flathead Co., Montana.
