R.E.Johnson 1966 Journal West Fork Yaak River, 5000 ft. Lincoln Co., Montana (cont.) July 2. The Siskins had many small (1/8 inch +) yellow grubs in its mouth. This location was at 4800 ft. The latter 3 specimens were prepared by Amest Moore. Ward caught a Short-tailed Wensel near camp. July 3. Ames, Moore, & I drove down the road to the Garver Creek Rd. & followed it to the Garver Creek Crossing (4200 ft.). We collected in the forest & logged areas near this point. I collected a female Northern Three-toed Woodpecker from a Western Hemlock tree (20 ft up). The tree was riddle with Sapsucker holes. A yellow-bellied Sapsucker flew to a nearby tree and was collected. Dave Moore collected a a male No. Three-toed Woodpecker from a location 200 to 300 yds. away. Oregon Juncos, MacGillivray's Warblers, & Wilson Warblers responded to the "Pish" call. Townsend Warblers were heard in forest (high up) & the former species were in the understory. A MacGillivray's Warbler was collected. In a logged over area families of Oregon Juncos & Winter Wrens were seen. The wrens were in a log pile & one was collected. A Red-Tailed Hawk flew up from the ground (exact location & activity not seen) while being mobbed by small birds. It lit in a 40 foot tree in the forest nearby & then flew again, pursued by a large Corvid. A chickadee nest (sp.?) was found at the edge
