83 Journal R.E.Johnson 1968 Aug. 18 North Bitterroot Mtns Montana (Idaho Pk) landed in old snags & I collected one Rosy Finch. The others flew up to the east & disappeared. Shortly another juvenile bird flew up from below & flew ne. Later 3 others appeared from below & flew from place to place in the cirque, sometimes landing in isolated clumps of trees, then later dropping to the ground to feed, then back to the trees, & finally off to a new location entirely. I was never able to get close enough to collect them. Conys were common in the rock slides & I heard one Rock Wren call from the bottom of the cirque. I hiked the Ida-Montana border ridge west above the mines, then back east & out the west running ridge that forms the left side of cirque 8. This ridge leads to a lower peak^ (Jodd Crown Pk (7374)) that still holds a little snow but I did not hike that far. Several steep chimneys lead from this ridge down into B & I descended one of these. I encountered 8 or 9 juvenile Rosy Finches on a [illegible] slope covered with herbs on wet dirt. They took flight before I could fire & they remained aloof for the next half hour when rain set in & the clouds lowered (8:30 PM) & I took off for the car. All the Rosy Finches seen today were juveniles.
