R.E. Johnson 1969 Journal 157 Feb. 11 Wendover, Tooele Co., Utah to Berkeley, Calif. 200 rosy finches feeding along the roadside. I collected one at 10:30 AM. The others flew off & could never be approached closely because of the traffic. There was much less snow along the highways of Nevada on my return trip than in late January. I visited the lower mineshaft on Peavine Mtn near Rena, between 4:45 & 5:45 PM and the shaft contained around 100 birds. They could only be driven from the shafts in small numbers only with considerable effort (yelling, waving arms & throwing torrents of rocks) & then they would dive direct back into the shaft. I collected a few birds. Some adjacent areas were snowless & others up to 2 feet deep with drifted snow. Snow 1 ft. deep surrounded the shaft. I drove on to Berkeley, arriving around 11 PM.
