Tumalo Cr., 4700 ft., 11 mi. W Bend, Deschutes
Co., Ore.
June 28 1964
Moved to above location this A.M. This is
same location where a M.V.Z. field trip
camped in '47. We are here to take more
Western Flycatchers.
June 29 1964
Very quiet this A.M. Remark has been
made & it seems to be true - there are
no young birds about. Appears that
the storms of 2 weeks ago must
have broken up many nests. Heard
only 2 Western Flycatchers sing &
could not find either. Found a nest
of yellow billed Tawnychkers - took 1
& crippled & lost the mate. The one
left appeared black like the one taken.
Heard 2 or 3 Hammond Flycatches. For
most part they were farther from
stream than Westerns.
7:30 P.M., cloudy & looks like rain.
Heard some distant thunder.
This country - like many other places
will be full of houses someday.
Right now they are selling lots,
covered with Lodge Pole Pines along
Tumalo Cr. The sign advertises
sites for summer & winter
cabins.
