Ovr 1932 Klamath Falls, Klamath Co., Oregon. June 14, 1932. Left Berkeley at 7 a.m. in company with Alden H. Miller and Dean Blanchard for a seven weeks trip through eastern Oregon and central and northern Idaho. Miller is seeking Juncos and I am accompany- ing him chiefly to obtain mammals for the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. The specimens collected will consist almost entirely of the forms present in the local zones of these two states since we are primarily seeking Juncos. The aver- age time spent at each camp will be about 2 day — just sufficient to gain a series of 10-20 adult birds. Today we travelled north through the Sacramento Valley to Klamath Falls, Oregon. Along the rice planted areas south of Willows several small groups of Tricolor Redwings were seen. In the same vicinity several Black Terns were noted. Yellow-billed Magpies were seen at Corning and near Red Bluff. Mockingbirds were also seen in Olive Orchards as far north as Corning. In the Shasta Valley, 6 miles south ofureka the skull of a jackrabbit that had been run over was saved, since it may be an intergrade between L. e. californius and L. e. wallawalla.
