June 15 Diamond Lake, 5260±ft., Douglas Co., Oregon - Diamond
Lake quad, USGS, ed. of 1917. 30'. Arrived in the
area about 11am. The lake is much commercialized,
fishing, store, camping, etc., but there is a lot of
wild country just off the road. Looks like good
camping area. Apparently rained last night.
There is a marshy area at the S end of the
lake. It is very wet, with abundant willow
scrub. I walked around the area for an hour,
but no sign of White Crown. It looks good, but
must be too low. In this area heard: Hammond
Flycatcher, Western Wood Pewee, Robin, Mt. Chickadee,
Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, Savannah Sparrow, Spotted
Sandpiper, Long-Billed Marsh Wren, Brown-headed
Cowbird, Osprey (over lake). Tried to drive the
dirt road to Crescent Lake, but got only as far as
Kelsey River, 4150±ft., before a mud hole stopped me.
Picked up at Dana Lee. Returned to Diamond Lake,
back out to Rt. 97, to mt. 58, and to west end of
Crescent Lake, 4850±ft., Klamath Co., Oregon , where
I made camp. Tried to drive to Summit Lake,
which is 5350±ft., but the road is not open.
Altho White-crowns have been reported from here, it is
very
not good country. Pines extend to the water's edge,
and the entire country is forested. Set my 5 traps
in a little area of grass + willow near the lake.
Took a walk about dusk, all was quiet. Set my
watch back, 7pm on standard time.
