TRACED, J. 1990 Journal 46 Page Springs on the Blitzen River, Harney Co., Oregon. Elevation 4235 ft. July 29 There were many low-growing wild flowers. Kegia Gorge (Crater) was gorgeous. I loved seeing cattle all over the high country - really enhanced the views. Mosquitoes were horrible both early and late in the day. The worst part of the afternoon was bidding farewell to Lee & his family. They had to return to Idaho & home. Weather was partly cloudy most of the day. Temps 65-70°F, with variable ranges. About 19:00, the skies cleared over, the wind switched around and blew steadily 5-10 mph out of the South. Rain threatened but none fell here. July 30 I ran nets continuously from 05:35 to 13:10, but not in the afternoon - I needed to catch up on my notes. I estimate the local population of Lesser Grebfins at 20 birds, so in the MVZ tradition of Jesse Grinell, I want them all. Page Springs is a BLM campground at the mouth of the canyon confining the Blitzen River (Downer & Blitzen River or one way & River), which drains part of the west slope of Steens Mountain. As mentioned previously, dogwood over- grows the spring itself, which is about 200 yards upstream from the campground's S. gate. At the campground, the canyon is about 130 yards wide, the campground area itself about 350 yards long. The slopes of the canyon are about 35; rise
