(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.
