R.E. Johnson 1966 Journal Spar Lake, 3300 Ft., Lincoln Co., Montana (cont.) June 20 daily, especially in the evenings. A Robin was collected beside the lake. Several were present in the grassy lake margins. June 21 Collected a Hammond Flycatcher in camp. It was perched on top of a 100ft. Lodgepole Pine. WT. 12.4gm. Ames, Conard, Moore & I drove to the burn area (referred to as Spar Creek Drainage 4700 ft +/-) via a new route, the Hiatt Creek Rd which splits off from Spar Lake Rd about a half mile down canyon (N.) from camp. This road winds around the headwaters of Hiatt Creek Drainage and terminates above the burn. We collected along this ridge & W. toward the Idaho border. (The burn was first visited on June 17 & later on June 19). The ridge top has been recently logged (perhaps 2 years ago) and only a few snags & living conifers remain. The ground cover consists of: Mtn. Ash - Sorbus sitchensis Mtn. Maple - Acer glabrum Thimbleberry - Rubus parviflorus Currant - Ribes sp. Gooseberry - Ribes sp. Mtn. Lover - Pachystima myrsinites Huckleberry - Vaccinium sp. Menziesia - Menziesia glabella Thin-leaf Alder - Alnus tenuifolia
