California/Oregon Trip
calling by other flock members held here
back from going all the way down.
The flock was fm recorded. They took
off to the NE. I packed up & left
at about 11:00 am. I first went to
the Calamus Butte lookout (Fox sparrows
seen here, also junco's). No crossbills heard
or seen. I then went to Chiloquin
to get gas, then to Ft. Klamath, & then
to the eastern slope of the mountains
there. At about 6000' I heard a type 2
crossbill fly over (12:00 noon) - set up a
net for about 3 hrs here -- this was
just at snowline at the end of road 3384.
No other crossbills were heard, but siskins
abundant. I then left & went W
on Hwy 140, then N to Butte Falls,
then S to Medford, & continued S
on 238 to the Rogue River Nat'l Forest.
I camped at the end of a jeep trail
at fairly low elev. No good conifer
cones in this area of mixed conifers.

I did not set up a net or decoys at
this campsite near Applegate Lake. I drove
at dawn through parts of the Rogue River
