R.E. Johnson 1967 Journal 145 August 31 Highland Mtns, Silver Bow Co., Montana (cont.) Lodgepole, subalpine fir, & white-bark pine. Audubon's Warblers fed along the shore line and in trees. An Oregon Junco was also seen. Ravens were seen along the ridge when returning to the lookout at 7 PM. Skunkweed is common along the ridge. A lightning storm was passing over thus prompting my early exodus. No sign of Rosy Finches. Water Pipits were the most common bird. Camped outside the lookout tower in the wind & away from the buzzing radios. Suzanne furnished another good meal and we watched TV (Billy Graham from England & "Do Blondes have more fun?" with Al Capp as MC -> Suzanne is a blond). Sept. 1 Red Mtn. L.O. Highland Mtns, Silver Bow Co. to Lost Creek State Park Deer Lodge Co., Montana Suzanne prepared breakfast as a Rosy Finch flew over the lookout. I collected a lone Junco on the sun facing talus slope of Red Mtn. at 9400 ft. After breakfast further search turned up one or two small (4-6 birds) groups of Junco finches but no adults. Water Pipits were common and one Sparrow Hawk was seen. This slope looks better than most in these mtns for feeding (scattered herbs) flocks. Plants were mainly skunkweed, spotted Saxifrage, & lupine.
