Excerpt from Summer Birds of Flathead Lake Notes based upon observations made between June 14 and August 30, 1900. From June 14 to July 6, observations were made from the University of Montana Biological Station at the head of Flathead Lake as a center; from July 9 to July 18, at Sin-yale-a-min Lake, Mission Mountains; from July 19 to July 27, at McDonald Lake, Mission Mountains; from July 28 to August 3, in the region between the foot of Mt. McDonald and the foot of Flathead Lake; during the remainder of the period stated, the Biological Station was again the center of operations. Additional observations were made in June and July, 1901, which have been recorded in the appropriate places. Prepared under direction of the University of Montana Biological Station. Sin-yale-a-min Lake Sin-yale-a-min Lake lies in a depression of the Mission Mountains at an elevation of 3900 feet. The depression is probably the result of glacial action, in which the bed of the lake was scooped out by the moving ice-mass, the trend being nearly from east to west. The western end of the depression is blocked by what seems to be a terminal moraine, through which the outlet of the lake makes its way. The lake is fed by a stream which comes dashing down a gorge on the northeast, the descent being so steep about a quarter of a mile from the lake that there is a succession of beautiful falls extending over several hundred feet. Between the lake and the falls the stream is thickly bordered by massive arbor vitae, whose numerous standing trunks and accompanying fallen growth form an almost impassable jungle. However, a trail can be followed from the lake to the falls with no great difficulty. Along this stream the cheerful chant of the winter wren can be heard, and in the leaping spray of the falls the American dipper loves to play.
