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).

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:
