Aug. 6 Lolo Peak, Bitterroot Mtns, Montana
The nest site was totally inaccessible without rope.
Two other juvenile rosy finches were seen but not collected.
Pikas & Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels were the only other vertebrates seen. The top of the peak was nearly barren, having no trees or shrubs & only widely spaced vegetation. On the north face there were a few [illegible] plants. There is a USFS register on top.
Further south is another slightly lower peak. It is also barren looking & has snow along its east & north east slopes, but there are no extensive cliffs. I heard a few pipits on the flat top of this mtn & heard a cony down the east talus slope but these were the only species of vertebrate found.
Vegetation on top included Bluebell (Campanula) and 2 species of White Heather (Cassiope & Phyllodice).
