R.E. Johnson 1968 Journal 4 May 13 Seattle & Olympic Nat. Park, Wash. (cont) pretty but uneventful. Mud flats off bays of the Sound contained no birds, but a few ducks were off shore in the bay & out of easy sight range. Port Angeles turned out to be a much bigger city than I expected. Clouds were too low to see up the mtns which I presumed to be snow covered & I couldn't see across the Sound. Drove up to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic Nat. Park, & there really is snow up there! & lots of clouds too. A light snow was falling. Visibility was 20 to 50 Feet. No one else was there. Vegetation appeared to be patchy trees up to 20 ft tall (sort of krumholtz, but taller tree than usual) & low tundra like vegetation. No flowers up yet & in fact, little veg. exposed from under the snow yet. Snow mostly 2-5 ft deep. A Raven sat at the edge of the road & appeared tame. Robins & Oregon Juncos worked along the snow margins. 4:30 PM (50) A Flock of Rosy Finch, worked the snow margins also. Some Robins & Rosy Finchers also fed in the centers of the melted out areas but the concentrations were at the snow margins. I quickly unpacked & assembled my shotgun & collected 5 rosy finches on two shots before they all flew off into the clouds. Elevation: 5,200 feet. Perhaps the finches would normally be higher in good weather.
