27 Journal R.E. Johnson 1966 Spar Lake, 3300 ft., Lincoln Co, Montana (cont.) with x) and more species were stuffed than usual. Perhaps we are finally getting the hang of this business (we hope). June 23 All five of us drove to Keeler Mtn. and the rain almost beat there. It was very cold when we arrived there & us no mosquitoes were seen, but they came on in droves as the morning passed. I collected a Swainson Thrush, Ruby Crowned Kinglet, Hermit Thrush, Oregon Junco, & Chipping Sparrow. (Ward Russell prepared the Kinglet for me). I also saw Pine Siskins and a Blue Grouse with at least 4 chicks that she was brooding which I stumbled upon in the same area where Moore saw some yesterday vegetation 1-2 ft. high, mostly huckleberry). Most of my time was spent trying to get a clear shot at the one Ruby-crowned Kinglet. It remained high in tall trees (fir, spruce) & rarely on the ends of the branches. It sang almost continually. Finally I tried a Pygmy Owl call and it flew down to 15 ft where I shot him. Columbian Ground Squirrels are very common. Chipmunks are present also. Ames tended his trap line set in the meadows on top the peak and found many traps missing & most sprung, apparently all due to Ground Squirrels. He also found 2 Myotis sp. Swainsons Thrush, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, & Oregon Junco all seem to respond to Pygmy Owl calls by
