R.E. Johnson 1966 Journal West Fork Yaak River 5000 ft. Lincoln Co. Montana (cont) July 4 Flow through the forest making ideal habitat for the waterthrush. Four (3 adults & 1 young) were collected. MacGillivray Warbler, Wilson Warbler, Audubon Warbler, Oregon Junco, & Winter Wren were common and one each of the 1st 3 were collected. The MacGillivray Warbler had 2 insects in its bill (both alive), one a hover fly and the other an orthoptera. Rain & cloudy dark skies continued for the 3rd day straight but today was a little warmer. The mosquitos disappeared with the cold yesterday, but returned today. Ward caught us a load of Fish tonight (for the 3rd straight day). They run between 6 & 9 inches in the river near camp. Apparently every small hole has several. So far Ward & Conard have taken about 55 fish in 3 days. July 5 Ames, Moore, & I drove up the Winkum Creek Rd through a large cutover area and finally to the Hawkins Lakes. I collected a Fox Sparrow and two Mountain Chickadees in the cutover area (located 2.5 miles E. of Northwest Pk., 5800 Ft.). A chickadee nest was located 40 ft up in a snag at the edge of the cut. The nest was East facing. Both adults were seen to enter on different occasions, one was collected. A Townsend Solitaire was collected high on the in the coveque ledges, above the second Hawkins Lake (3 lakes). The cliffs & ledgers
