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.
