R.E. Johnson 1966 39 Journal West Fork Yaak River, 5000 ft., Lincoln Co., Montana. (cont.) June 29 North slope. A pair of Townsend Solitaires were seen flying in a mating flight in the thin timber near the ridgetop. The apparent female flew in an elongate ellipse back & forth through the timber at a leisurely pace. The male followed a few feet behind singing a few notes. The female would reverse directions at the end of the ellipse by circling a tree rather closely. This flight continued for more than 15 minutes & was still in progress when I left. The birds did not land at any time during this flight. The length of the ellipse varied from 100 to 300 feet. June 30 We all drove in the GMC. to Bonner's Ferry, Idaho to pickup mail, get fishing worms for Conrad & Russell, get showers, groceries, mosquito repellent, etc. On the return trip we stopped at the "Dirty Shame" at Yaak to borrow a crosscut saw. In the evening we cut a large log off the West Fork Yaak River Rd which will now permit us to drive to the head of the canyon saving considerable time when traveling to the higher peaks or Ward's trap lines. July 1 I walked up the Davis Creek Rd a short ways (no more than a mile from camp). The following species of vegetation were noted in the forest along the lower part
