Journal 186 R.E. Johnson 1969 March 26 Poncha Pass, Colorado to Price, Utah area (cont.) terrain above timberline. I continued north through Montrose & Delta to Grand Junction, then west on US 6 & 50 through Price, Utah & camped by the roadside east of Soldier Pass. March 27 Price, Utah area to Berkeley, California Birds fed & watered & on my way at 7:30 A.M. Noted Starlings on Soldier Pass. Continued north toward Provo to Springville & then turned SW through Eureka, Utah to Baker, Nevada where I picked up 11 atrata, 2 tephrocotis & 1 littoralis which Mike Hess collected for me at Bacchus, Utah for me on March 19, 1969. Actually the birds were collected by a fireman, John Murray, on the grounds of the Hercules Powder Company. Mike had made a special trip up there immediately after my visit to him in Baker on March 18 & he had gotten Murray to obtain the birds in a burlap bag. I left Mike with 6 Colorado caught birds (3 littoralis & 3 tephrocotis) to use for Zygmute studies. I later recalled that King & Wales had shown that this does not occur in Leucosticta. The drive across Nevada was especially beautiful today because of the clear sky, silvery mountain peaks, gushing streams where there were usually dry washes & large lakes where there were usually dry lake bed deserts.
