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
