Itinerary
July 4 Columbia R., at mouth of Deschutes R.
in the sagebrush along the
Deschutes R., and one bunch of
about 15 young we seen near camp.
I understand that the only game
wardens in this vicinity are
the state highway patrol officers.
They would hardly seem able to
patrol so large an area adequately
as their duties must confine them
largely to the highways.
35 mice traps were set in
the sagebrush along the Deschutes
R. at camp.
I again attempted bat shooting
but none were seen flying. It
is still cold and windy. However,
I did shoot 1 nighthawk which
was flying low over the sagebrush
near camp. It was shot about 8:45 P.M.
A great blue heron was seen flying along
the Deschutes R.
July 5 Columbia R., at mouth of Deschutes R.
The 35 mice traps set in the sagebrush
near camp produced:
Reithrodontomys megalotis 2 or 19
Two were caught in high sagebrush
about 10 ft from the R. and 1 in low
