To Target Springs & adjoining territories while my car was being repaired. Traveled with Jewett & George Rodgers.
[[underline]] Evening Grosbeaks, Crossbills, Purple Finches & Nutcrackers [[/underline]] abundant in yellow pine & all filled to overflowing with pine seeds. The birds were working about the areas of melting snow. Primula [[ausechiana?]] in full bloom in a few places.

June 1, 1933
Lv Enterprise at 745 AM. Stop & confer with Fred Furst & others at Wallowa forest office and stop Avery's office La Grande. Also saw Dobbyns & Fugate at Meacham and came on into Hermiston. We detoured to Four Mile Lake but failed to find any coyote sign there tho a bunch of sheep were watering there.
Terrible change in vegetation at & near Meacham so that it was very difficult to find Mertensia which was in full bloom less than a week ago. Grass & other weeds had grown so much that they were well concealed. E. parviflorum and [[Dodocallium?]] parviflorum in same category.
