Breeding Biology Of The Sage Thrasher, John Wayne Gooding
Breeding Biology Of The Sage Thrasher, John Wayne Gooding
All Master's Theses
The sage thrasher, Oreoscontes montanus (Townsend), is a common bird that breeds throughout the sage brush areas of the Great Basin and from northern Arizona to southern Saskatchewan. Although it is a fairly common and conspicuous bird, almost nothing about its life history has been published. This study was conducted in central Washington during the spring and summer of 1969 and the spring and early summer of 1970. During the 1969 season, emphasis was placed on finding and tracing the phenologies of as many nests as possible in order to determine the timing of the nesting cycle. During the 1970 …

An Annotated Check List Of The Land Mammals Of Curry County, Oregon, Paul Emerson Sherrell
An Annotated Check List Of The Land Mammals Of Curry County, Oregon, Paul Emerson Sherrell
All Master's Theses
Curry County merits study for several reasons. Very little work has been done on its mammalian fauna resulting in a limited number of specimens. In turn there is a sparsity of literature; that written is chiefly concerned with the genera Arborimus and Phenacomys. The location of the county places it in an area of scrambled geological history resulting in a diverse mixture of faunal and floral elements. Logging, agriculture, and grazing activities have altered and continue to alter the natural habitats. These interests have permanently changed both the floristic and faunistic composition of the county.
