Banks 1960 Journal 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.
