Page Springs on the Bittern River Harvey Co. Oregon. Elevation 4235 ft.
July 23 I left Sacramento just after supper N. on Interstate 5, E. on Calif. State Hwy 299 to U.S. 395 in Eugene to U.S. 20 in Burns, Oregon, then Oregon State Hwy 78 to Oregon State Hwy 205 to Bendigan, then the four miles E.
& S. over gravel land to the DMV campground at Page Springs. I was unable
a drink straight things, so I stopped along U.S. 395 at Lake Alfred in
Oregon & slept about 4 hours, so I arrived at 10:30. Pleasant day,
1970 note for better description. I returned to complete a partial sample.
I set up my net at the back of Campsite #7, under a large, fruiting juniper tree. I caught two 4-inches goldfinches, I cabled in about 45 minutes.
Same was surprising for American Goldfinches this year—I found only
2 and saw more. I left Page Springs at 12:35. And drove to Caldwell Idaho via U.S. 20 and Interstate 84. There I spent the night with
Western Co., calm, Mrs. Car (my best men) and his wife and children. temp. 65°-75°F
