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
