4 mi. SW Prineville, 3300 ft., Crooks Co., Ore.
was found and it was 20 yds from
the colony of cliff swallows. The
cliffs vary in height from 20 ft.
to 100 ft. and the slope varies from
absolutely 90° to 60°. Below the cliffs
was a steep sloping habitat of
Tunipers, Artemesia and bare sandy
places. The region passed thru to
reach the cliffs was similar in
vegetation to the region around
camp and previously described. In
this habitat were seen: 3 Valley
Quail; 1 Sage Sparrow; many Brewer
Sparrows; 3 Red-rafted Flickers, 1
Sparrow Hawks; several Mountain
Bluebirds; 2 Sage Thrashers; 1
Clipping Sparrow. Returned to camp
and while at camp heard a
Bullock's Oriole about 12:30 p.m. At
3:30 p.m. Paul Maslin and I went
to the ridge S and W of the hills -
the same region where I had
previously caught a Sceloporus on
yesterday. Caught 3 Sceloporus of
same type again. In the evening
A.H.Miller, Fred Test and myself
