R.E. Johnson 1960 Journal Spar Lake 3300 Ft. Lincoln Co., Montana (cont.) The surrounding Forest is primarily Douglas Fir, Lodgepole Pine, & Western Larch. Birds were taken along the forest-meadow edge and along the road through the forest. There is very little understory in the Forest here making it easy to locate birds which have been shot. Few birds were seen in the meadow itself and no wholly meadow species (ie., Meadowlark, Horned Lark, Pipit, etc.) were found. Apparently this area is too small and/or isolated to attract these species. The meadow extends as a narrow sliver along the top of the peak, widening as it goes north & then extending a quarter mile down the north ridge. Earlier in the day, on the rd near Spar Lake Moore & I saw a Mourning Dove, the first seen in this area. June 24 Rain Fell most of the night and continued throughout the morning. We all drove out to collect anyway. Ward & Conrad came back with a Pine Marten from the trapline above Spar Lake, & a Pileated Woodpecker. Ames, Moore, & I drove back to Keeler Mtn. Ames picked up his trap line of gopher traps and found 2 pocket gophers (Thomomys talpoidea) of quite different color, collected no more than 40 ft apart. Six traps were empty & one could not be located. I collected 2 Townsend
