June 21, 1938 (Continued) Lodge-pole pines than we were stopped by banks of snow on the road. Heard Piked in o rock pile and saw too, snow all about them. Mosquitoes very thick. Turned back and tried the N portion of the loop, missed the road and got onto a blind road leading up Jumalo Creek. Decided to camp here. The forest is very dense and has underbrush of manzanita and ceanothis. The forest consists of Yellow pine, Spruce, Douglas fir, White firs, Lodge- pole pines, and a few red firs and hemlocks. Jumalo Creek, 11 mi. W Prineville, 4700 ft., Deschutes Co., Oregon June 22, 1938 Made beds outside with mosquito bars over us but rain at 1:00 A.M. forced us to pitch tent. Mosquitoes small with black banded bodies but in large numbers. Went frog hunting after breakfast, mosquitoes in creek bottom particularly heavy and vicious, every half hour was forced to seek open roadway until five of their bites subsided. Heard a number of strange bird calls, met my first Green tailed towhee, later in day shot one. After lunch went up on ridge N of camp to look for lizards. Found none. Large rock outcropping on ridge but it isn't broken down into small pieces - no Pikas but lots of Collaspermaphis. Saw hummingbirds among the ceanothas of the ridge. Returned to camp and prepared specimens
