A. Good 1980 Journal W. slope Whaleback, 8½ mi. N+2 mi. E Mt. Shasta, 2050 m., Siskiyou Co., Calif. [T. 43, R. 3 W, SWt sec. 26] 5 July Up ca. 0700. Weather cool + clear + still. Left immediately + drove back to Hwy 97 + N on 97 to Klamath Falls (stopping only for breakfast). At Klamath Falls we got groceries + ammunition + then decided for a locality NW of Keno which Bob had gotten from Ned. This locality (see below) we reached ca. 1700. Saw a herd of antelope in the Butte Valley, just S of the Oregon Border - first I had seen in 11 years. Spencer Creek, 1230 m., 2 mi. N+3 mi. E Buck Mtn., Klamath Co., Oregon, [T. 39 S, R. 6 E, SW¼ sec. 2] 5 July After checking several spots along Spencer + Clover Creeks, we eventually stopped here + made skeletons of the remaining birds. We did not go out collecting for fear of accelerating the birds to our squawking, etc. 6 July Spent a terrible night being sick w/ intestinal problems (Bob + Susan had had similar problems the day before - though apparently much milder). I was sick the rest of the day and so did no collecting. Habitat here - cut over pine forest. We camped next to Spencer Creek along which willows (sp?) grow thickly + in these willows Fox Sparrows are quite common. Weather clear + hot (although my fever may have made it seem hotter).
