Pronghorns are listed for Crater Lake, but not goats.

Subject: [obol] a red face
Ron Maertz has kindly pointed out to me that Crater Lake is in Klamath
County. It is kind of funny that I, of all people, should have committed the
error of attributing birds seen there to Douglas County. I have lived in this
state my entire life, and was keeping county lists a long time before the
practice became popular. I have always paid strict attention (or so I thought)
to county lines. Many of them I know precisely, without the aid of map.
However, entry points to some counties are not marked by signs in every case.
In this case, I came from Diamond Lake (which is in Douglas County) to Crater
Lake without either seeing a sign or checking the map. In any case, I had a
great time, and in spite of the fact that the birds seen at Crater Lake cannot
be counted on my Douglas County list, the ones I did see at Diamond Lake were
enough to have bumped my total for that county above the one hundred mark.
By the way, does anyone know if there are Mountain Goats at Crater Lake?
On one of the trails near Watchman Peak Laura and I saw tracks which were made
by neither deer nor elk. Seems I have heard something about mountain goats
having been introduced there, but I couldn't find anything about it on the web.
