Itinerary
July 14 Maryhill, Klickitat Co., Wash.
and supplies and then continued on up
the Columbia to about a mile above Maryhill
where we made camp beside the R.
in a grove of large willows. The situation
about camp is much the same as at the
mouth of the Deschutes R. with sagebrush
on the hills and high love linsocks bordering
the R. There is much open ground, however,
covered with only short dry grass. There
are numerous small ranches along the
R. near Maryhill with alfalfa fields and
orchards. Last evening Chittin and I attempted
to set some gopher traps in the alfalfa
fields between camp and Maryhill, but there
were few burrows and the soft sandy soil
made it difficult to find open runways. I
only made one set. Several bats were
seen flying just before dark even though
it was quite windy.
This morning Johnson and I drove
1mi. NE Maryhill,
ft. to set some
gopher traps in an alfalfa field. I made
two sets and also collected two horned
larks. Birds seen about here so far include:
Sea gulls, red-tailed hawk, Sparrow-hawk, Calif.
guail, Lewis woodpecker, horned lark, rock wren,
Arkansas kingbird, raven, crow, meadow lark,
