1967
August 28 Big Baldy Mtn to Kings Hill Campground, Little Belt Mtns, Montana
the moist meadows where they had nested so commonly
in 1964. No Spragues Pipits were seen. The following
species were seen on Cabin Mtn (8163 ft) south of Big
Baldy Mtn: Say's Phoebe, Oregon Junco, Clarkes Nutcracker, &
Horned Lark (1 collected). The next park south (sw) of
Cabin Mtn also possessed Say's Phoebes, Horned Larks, and also
Vesper Sparrows (1 collected). Say's Phoebes were also
seen in the park directly west of Coyote Pk. A Horned
Lark was collected and several were seen in the park
se of Kings Hill at the road junction. Drove down to
Kings Hill Campground on US 89 and camped and
stuffed birds. Was visited by a cute girl from Calif.
traveling with her parents to Glaries, Banff, etc. Wish I could
go along!
August 29 Kings Hill Campground to Butte, Montana
Drove back through White Sulphur springs then took
a dirt road over the Big Belt Mtns (over Duch Creek Pass)
to explore possible routes to Mt. Baldy from the north
to Boulder Pk (north of pass). Noted the following signs:
From the rd at a point east of the pass - Trail 20B
Gile Res. 0.5 (by road)
Big Birch Cr. 2
Baldy Lakes 8
Edith Lake 10
From the top of the pass - Trail 20-C
Mt. Baldy no mileages. Trail begins as
Edith Lake a steep road & my W could go less than
No. Fk. Deep Creek a mile along it.
