June 23, 1938 Tumalo Creek, 11 mi. W Bend, 4700 ft., Deschutes Co., Oregon Last night was fairly cold consequently in the morning we were free of mosquitoes for a short time. Went up Tumalo Creek to the end of the road then struck SW to Swampy Lakes some 1200 ft. higher than this camp site. Saw Clark's Crow, chipping sparrows, Red-Hearted Warbler, Spotted Sandpiper, Golden-Crowned Kinglet, Purple Finch, night hawk, Townsend warbler, Audubon Warbler, Calaveras warbler (on the way up), and other birds of uncertain identity. Shot a Golden-crowned Kinglet but gave it to Miller, felt inadequate at preparing it. There is a large swampy meadow about the swamp lakes in which Hyla and Bufo abound. In the numerous small pools yellow legs abounded. Saw no Ithamnophis, Miller collected one coming down the trail. In the stream bottoms mosquitoes are unbearable, but the streams themselves seem like ideal shrew country, damp with overhanging moss ledges and a copious supply of rotten logs, windfalls, and debris. In such a site Russell took out 1 zapus, 1 Water Shrew and a Peromyscus. Skin trapping but possible. Elk prints are copious but these are few to be seen. June 24 Went east of camp to a large hillslope covered with manzanita and ceanothus. Very few mosquitoes, evidence of fox sparrows all through the chaporal. Saw several late in the morning. Found hairy woodpeckers nest in dead tree in center of chaporal and Woodpeckers
