Journal R.E. Johnson 1969 Jan. 24 Berkeley, Calif. to Reno, Nevada Got a late start From Berkeley & there wasn't time to reach the mine shafts on Peavino Mtn. before dusk. I skated at Squaw Valley in the evening & then drove about 10 miles east of Reno and stopped for the night. Jan. 25 Reno, Nevada to Salt Lake City Area, Utah Highway east of Reno & all the surrounding land is covered with snow making the going slick & slow. Many flocks of Horned Larks along the road in the vicinity of Fernley & to the east. Two Meadowlarks, a Raven, several Black-billed Magpies, a Red-winged Blackbird, several Brewer's Blackbirds and 2 House Sparrows seen near Wads worth. Three Rosy Finches (L.t. littoralis) were collected from a flock of roadside Horned Larks. While I brought these notes up to date at the above site (15 miles e. of Fernley on Interstate 80), a flock of 40 Rosy Finches flew up & I collected 4 (one L.t. littoralis). While retrieving these a Flock of 100 Rosy Finches flew nearby. Time 10:30-11:00 AM. Another Rosy Finch (L.t. head type) appeared with a flock of Horned Larks & I collected it along with 2 Horned Larks (one shot). A Raven swept down & picked up a live Rosy Finch but it may have been injured by one of my earlier shots but escaped by flying off only to weaken later & be caught. The Raven carried it to a fence post & tore the feathers off, then flew to the middle of the road with it & continued tearing at it. Small numbers of other Rosy
