Marshall, 1941 North Santiam River, 3400 ft., Linn Co., Oregon - June 4 pair of hairy woodpeckers & Steller jays - many pine squirrels & chipmunks. The river margin is wider here, & there are russet-backed thrushes along it. Several pairs of Hammond flycatchers seen. Returned to camp by old roads along the south side of the river - here the forest is heavier & is mostly mountain hemlock - because of the north exposure. On the flat country around & to the north of camp is a mixed forest of Picea tsuga, Pinus monticola, & Pseudotsuga. Held tanager singing & that I heard a pair of creepers. Cinclus, Nuthatch & Yewseed around camp. The birds react well to Pygmy Owl calls. Tried to call up Flammulated Screech Owls last night - but none found - too dense Timber. Were many cricket-like insects out, however. Weather today = clear & calm - warm.
