(Oct. 3) 7:00 a. m. — Out of Klamath Falls and north to Upper Klamath Lake (impounded behind hills and eastward lava flow); along east side of lake; tule beds only at south and north ends; hills otherwise rise steeply and clothed with yellow pines (only small ones left); to west and north, logging country; two or more mills on edges of lake, with great floating rafts of logs adjacent; besides tules, much willow along shores, and some cotton-woods. Bird-life is very enormously plentiful; open water as far as I can see, closely dotted with birds: mud-hens; ducks; western, pied-billed and eared geese; gulls (California and king-billed recognized); White Pelicans; along shore, as train passes close above: Muggie, Steller Jay (in willows); Belted King-fisher; Black-crowned Night-Heron; Blue Heron.
