ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



I thank all who have contributed in any way to the completion of 

 this report. Among the many individuals who allowed me use of their 

 unpublished field notes, I thank Thomas McCamant, the late Carl 

 Richardson, Franklin W. Sturges, and Otis Swisher. I also thank 

 Dorothy Tompkins and Joseph H. Hicks, who, in addition to providing 

 unpublished notes, allowed review and inclusion of data from their 

 color slide files. Photographic records cited in the species accounts 

 are acknowledged by their respective initials — 'DT and JH. 



Use of the Carl Richardson Bird and Mammal Collection at 

 Southern Oregon College, Ashland, Oregon is most appreciated. 



I am grateful to Charles F. Yocom, for his encouragement during 

 the early stages of compiling the data, to Stephen P. Cross and 

 Franklin W. Sturges, for their suggestions and critical reading of an 

 earlier version of the manuscript, to Richard C. Banks and Marshall 

 Howe who made many helpful suggestions in later revisions, and to 

 Van T. Harris and Rosetta M. Johnson who edited the manuscript. 



I thank Karen Pfister who typed the manuscript and Claudia Austin 

 who prepared the map of Jackson County. Habitat figures were gener- 

 ously supplied by the Bureau of Land Management, Medford (Figs. 

 2-4, 6) and the Rogue River National Forest (Figs. 5 and 7).
