A. Good 1980 Journal 11 mi. S + 2 mi. W Mt. McLaughlin, 1430 m., Jackson Co., Oregon [L.T. 38 S, R. 4 E, SW 4 sec. 4] 9 July (cont’) Habitat - extensive area of mixed brush (Ceanothus - Ribes - Ceanothus - others). Also many dead snags + patches of live fir (true or Douglas?). Walked around for a while looking for Fox Sparrows then returned to the camper ca. 1200. After taking tissues + having lunch we moved on (see spp. account for Chickadees). We drove W to 3706 + N on 3706 to Hwy 140. We then drove E on 140 to Lake of the Woods Ranger Station in search of info. However it was closed so we decided to follow some previous advice we had gotten + drove N from 140 in 4-mile Labe Road along the E side of Mt McLaughlin. We reached the end of this road (#3661) at Four Mile Lake without having found any brush (time ca. 1600) so we decided to stop + take care of some of the birds we had accumulated. Bob shinned his sparrows (I helped w/ a couple of skeletons) while Susan + I, ± loafed. After this we decided to try the other side of Mt McLaughlin for brush fields so we drove back to Hwy 140 + W to 3650 on which we drove N to 3650 J where we spent the night (arrived following building ca. 2000). 10 July Up 0630 - temp ca. 8°C. Weather clear, still. Temp. later up to mid 20's, sky remaining clear. Wind gusty. I immediately walked back down the road in the direction we had come while Bob + Susan came later (+ passed me) + parked further down the road at the following locality:
