Marshall, 1939 (Washington Trip July 24-August 1)
General Comment
16 mi E Redding, Shasta Co. Calif. July 24
Stopped to spend night in canyon valley opening W into Sacraments R on the opposite side of the Shasta Dam sight. Working on dam all night with search-lights - much blasting.
Camp in lower fringes of Transition, on a NW-facing slope. Fairly heavy 2nd grow yellow pine forest with large black oaks. Worked for Otus flammeolus - none found - too much noise.
Did find a pair of Otus asio at the edge of the forest - where Manganita or Upper Sonoran broad-leaves replaced transition timber. No flying squirrels heard. Collect the ♂ Otus asio, # 674 molting, from a digger pine.
Mill Creek, 16 mi E Walla Walla, Blue Mts., Columbia Co., Wash. July 25-26
Camped in this deep heavily timbered (transition) canyon running ck flowing W towards Walla Walla. Doug fir, yellow pine spruce, giant alder(?) No Otus found. Several Horned owls hooting. In morning (26th) heard some kind of wreo singing high in the alders. Something like Warbling, but
