Davis 1940. July 6. General Account. Left Berkeley 9:15 A.M. via Sacramento. Camped outside Weed, at foot of Mt. Shasta. July 7. Proceeded to Klamath Falls. South of Norris, like you to, Calif.; saw my first Sage Thrashers and Brewer Sparrows. Drove to Crater Lake, where I saw my first Cassin Purple Finches. Not many birds present. Fair amount of snow. Went on to Chemult, Klamath Co., thence to Norris Lake, Deschutes Co., 42 mi. S.W. of Bend, Deschutes Co.; altitude, 4390'. We camped in the yellow pines at the south end of the lake, on a point adjacent to a lava flow. The lake is of good size, but rather shallow. Surrounded by yellow and lodgepole pines. The soil is punice, very dry and dusty. Many water fowl here: Canada geese, coot, white pelicans, Western Willets, greater yellowlegs. The mosquitoes were present in huge numbers, and made life miserable. July 8. Collected and skinned. Mosquitoes unbearable through the day. Left early in afternoon. Lily collected 2 cories before we left. We passed through miles of very dry and dusty lodgepole pine country, with little or no under cover, save in the immediate vicinity of occasional small creeks. Made camp in a small meadow (Neil's garden) near Sparks Lake, at base of a lava flow. July 9. Moved camp to a more desirable locality, in the trees bordering a meadow nearer the lake. A creek runs through the meadow and empties into the lake. Trees noted in and in the vicinity of camp included mountain
