Forgyhurst 1939 Itinerary July 6 Brooks Mdw., Hood River Co., Ore. Transition forest of Douglas fir, big-leaf maple, and some white oaks. As we progressed farther W. the oaks became fewer and the underbrush more dense. Some of the dominant plants in the underbrush were: Sambucus glauca, Oenothera velutina, Rhue diversiloba, and Salix sp. From the Hood R. Valley up along the E. Forks of the Hood R. Alnus concolor began to appear along with Salix occidentalis. Higher up toward Brooks Mdw. Pinus contorta was seen occasionally. Around Brooks Mdw. the forest was composed mainly of Picea engelmannii interspersed with occasional Salix occidentalis, Pinus contorta, and Alnus amabilis. The Acer circinatum, Populus tremuloides, and Pseudotsuga taxifolia of the lower altitudes were not found here. Last evening I set 90 mice traps along an old road in heavy timber; a few were set at the edge of the Mdw. 3 sets of gopher traps were also made in the Mdw. along with 1 gopher trap set at the mouth of a squirrel hole. There is much down timber and underbrush in the surrounding forest
