Bailey - Field notes, Oregon and Washington, 1897 and Washington, D.C., 1898

Have you ever seen a bobcat up close, close enough to touch? Did it live to tell the tale? During his time as chief field naturalist for the Bureau of Biological Survey, Vernon Bailey (1864-1942) contributed over 13,000 specimens to the Biological Survey, curated specimens collected by fellow field agents and also designed two types of traps that left the animals and birds caught for examination unhurt. "The Mammals and Life Zones of Oregon" is one of his outstanding publications. Please help us transcribe one of the field log books Bailey kept of his work in Oregon to make it more accessible to fellow researchers and scholars.
