July 4
Harts Pass, Oregon & Wash. 6200+ft.
Clean & bright, a few clouds in N & NW, and
very little wind this morning. A really
beautiful day. Packed up my gear and
left about 9:30 a.m. Drove to just below
Bend, Oregon, by midnight or so. In the valley
as soon as I had descended from Harts Pass,
I saw Lewis Woodpecker and Magpie, both
of which I saw frequently on south, the
woodpecker very common. Stopped at
Chelan, Chelan Co. Wash., for ice. The ice
plant here is run by Joseph Pisani, who
also does taxidermy work. He used to work
for Calif. Academy at San Francisco. He
gave me a wildcat which had been killed
on the road the previous night. I gutted it
thought it back.
July 5
Drove from S of Bend, Oregon, to Berkeley.
Stopped at Winter Lake, which was clouded.
Just south of these saw Wilson Snipe sitting
on a post. At Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon,
north of Klamath Falls, saw California Gull
and White Pelican, plus ducks which I did
not stop to identify. After 12hr drive, got
to Berkeley about 7 p.m.
