F.T.Richardson 1937 26. 3 mi.W Pinkwater, Deschutes G., Oregon June 16,1937- A fairly detailed description of this region and its habitats may be in order for we hope to study all the birds of the region in our probably weeks' stay. Camp is at about 5700'. Generally gradual slopes upward from it lead to an extensive hemlock forest. The forested slopes below this all the way down into the Deschutes Valley, except where extensive logging has been done, are typically of dense lodge-pole Pine growth with stands of large Yellow Pine, pure or mixed with White Fir usually on the low flat ridges. Stands of Yellow Pine alone become most extensive on gentle slopes toward the lower valley. Stands of purely White Fir are infrequent occurring usually on sides of ridges (Noish?). Brush (Manganita, Rudea etc.) occurs sparsely below big timber, more thick on exposed S'lopes, continuously almost in heavily logged regions. The region then as mountain country, is relatively flat with the exception of the deeper gorge (sides up to 100') of Pinkwater G.. The shallow down-mountain valleys have broad tracts of dense lodge-pole Pine.
