WB Davis 1936 529 Alkali Lake Ranch, Lake Co., Oregon. May 23. heard. About 5 miles from where we stopped to hunt Redwings, the left right rear tire blew out. Stopped to fix it, and saw two families of Canada Geese along the shore of the lake. The young were about the size of Mallard Ducks, two of which flushed from a pond near the goose. Drove one to this locality through typical Great Basin Sage Desert country arriving here about 6 P.M. We turned west of the main highway about a miles north of Gray Butter and crossed the extreme north end of the now dry lake bed. This ranch has now it the only spring in this area. The surrounding country is relatively flat, and, at some distance from the lake bed, covered with Sage. The immediate area is flat, highly alkaline, and, where shrubs are growing, covered with spiny triplox. The spring overflowe and supplies water to a few acres of ground which is grazed no one is living at the ranch now, but it is still occupied, and a few cattle are found hereabouts.
