THE MARSHES OF MALHEUR 115 



white herons, or egrets, are left on Malheur. I 

 hope to make the trip again from Bend to Burns, 

 and from Burns down to Malheur Reservation, in 

 order to see the gleaming, shimmering flocks of 

 the snowy creatures that I am sure shall be pass- 

 ing to and from their island rookeries in the cane 

 and tules at the head of the marshy lake.
