70 Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 Aug 11 Trapper Pk, Ravalli Co., Montana (cont.) young birds. Adults occasionally fed young birds, but the young actively sought food independently also. A creek surfaced through the boulders for a few yards & then disappeared. Adult Rosy finches were constantly bathing here. One was seen feeding on Mt. Sorrel seeds. A Pike was also noticed collecting sorrel seed stalks & carrying them to his hay pile. Adult rosy finches seem to be in molt, but the q's are not. Thunder storms passed over 3 times during the day & drenched the area, only to pass on & be followed by bright sunshine. I ran out of ammunition & started climbing back out of the cirque at 5:30 PM. By the time I reached camp & loaded up to head back to the car, the sky was dark with threatening clouds. About half way to the car the rain began to fall. Shortly before this, before the trail becomes well defined I passed a lush green meadow (right or west of trail). It contains a good spring & would perhaps make a good campsite below timberline (perhaps 3 1/2 to 4 miles from car). Aug 12 Missoula, Montana Studied for Master's Oral Exam at Univ. of Montana
