Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 July 13 Two Pan to Eagle Cap Peak, Wallowa & Union Co's, Oregon (cont) to the snow below the outcrop & then gradually worked its way up the snow edge to the top of the ridge above. It apparently flew down again as I was climbing (no bird was above when I arrived at the top, but a bird appeared again at the bottom) and I collected it as it moved up. It is very dark (almost black), a male, with an extended buccal pouch. This is the first bird I've seen with a pouch so expanded that it displaced the feathers under the chin and had a firm feeling to the touch. I returned down canyon to Two Pan, leaving Eagle Cap at 5:30 PM & arriving at camp at 8 PM. After dinner I drove to Enterprise to get a motel room, clean up, etc. before buying supplies, picking up mail, and getting a filling replaced in one tooth the next day. July 14 Enterprise, Wallowa Co., Oregon Spent the entire 8 to 5 day in town. Answered mail, bought groceries, did laundry, stuffed the one rosy finch, and got my tooth filled at 3:15 PM by Doc Clark. Drove to Wallowa Lake to see what kind of camping facilities, etc were there. At the upper end of the lake there is a large State Park with picnic & camp-grounds and a large marina. Campgrounds are newly revamped & have free showers, hot & cold H2O in the restrooms, paved roads, tables, electric stoves at many campsites, etc. Rather fancy, too
