Paris. 1940. Bend, Deschutes Co., Oregon. July 19. dry all the way. Dropped down into Redmond for about '1/2 the way. Last part of trip through completely logged out country, with an Arctostaphylos succession, & scattered yellow pines. Bend is a good sized, rather nice town. Repairs to car. Supper. Shopping. Drove 9 mi. out of town & slept on ground. July 20. early next morning returned to Bend, ate, and shopped. Met Dr. Tigh of U.C. Dept. of Zool. in hardware store where I had gone to get new butt-plate for shotgun. He is collecting Copepods, but was buying a fishing rod when I met him. The "bug" finally got him! Left Bend 11:30 a. m. ate lunch in Redmond. Country very dry - Juniperus and Artemisia tridentata. Few birds. Passed through Prineville, a very shabby town. 1 mi. e. Ochoco Range Sta., 4500'; Ochoco Nat. For., Crook & Jefferson Co., Oregon. Stopped to look for birds. Observed σ + ♀ wood-peckers on yellow pine tree for some time. Sibley shot the ♀ and it turned out to be our first Picoides arcticus, an unusual record, as this bird, obtained in typical Transition, is restricted to lodgepole (canadian) [sic] Gabrielson & Dewett, 1940). Started to rain just after Sibley shot the wood-pecker. We played tag with this very heavy storm all the way through Mitchell. Saw several people
