Bend to Steens Mtn., Oregon
12 July
habitat bit found little except some willow thickets in various
places. We stopped in mid-afternoon at such a place:
1mi. S + 1ΒΌ mi. E Fish Lake, Steens Mtn., 2'190 m., Harney Co.,
Oregon
Habitat - marshy ground + Streams w/ thick willows in
water. In drier areas large quaking aspen dominated. Up
the slopes of the valley we passed in was sagebrush "desert".
We hunted for an hour or so but found nothing much. I
did manage to collect a Lincoln's Sparrow, juvenile + Bob
apparently saw a Fox Sparrow - though there were very few
around. We returned, took tissues from my sparrow +
drove out.
Weather, cool + alternately sunny + overcast. At one
point it even rained a bit.
On the way out we had a fire in the camper which,
after considerable excitement, we managed to put out
although we no longer had a functional refrigerator.
We then drove to the following locality where we spent
the night:
Fish Lake Campground, Steens Mtn., 2220 m., Harney Co.,
Oregon
Brewer's Sparrow common here (life bird for me), as are
Stems mtn. in gen.
