Orr 1932 Choco Ranger Sta., 4000 ft., Crook Co., Oregon. June 21, 1932 perched on a Yellow Pine. Another seen in adjacent tree. Hairy Woodpeckers seen in Aspen & Yellow Pine near camp. Red-breasted Nuthatches, Audubon Warblers, Evening Grosbeaks, Cassin Purple Finches, Sparrow Hawk, Mourning Dove, Williamson Seepsneakers seen in addition to birds noted last evening. Saw a Kellospermophiles up in Yellow Pine belt this a.m. but it ran into a hole in a fallen log before I could take it. At 10:30 a.m. a Microtus mordax was seen to run thru some fairly open grass 10 ft. to a hole. I placed a rat trap there soon afterwards and in the middle of the afternoon captured a half-grown Oregon Ground Squirrel. Miller brought in a young squirrel of the same species about 1/4 grown. A pair of House Mice were seen during part of the day next to camp in the Aspens. A small hole is present in one of the trees about 12 feet above the ground. It appears to be a mice nest, but nesting may be over because the birds were not seen to enter the hole. A pair of Hairy Woodpeckers never also seen in the Aspens and a hole similar to that used by that species was noted but the birds were not seen to enter while I observed them. A pair of Warbling Vireos were seen & heard in the Alders & Aspens along the stream ty camp all day. This evening I placed out 57 mice, 5 rat, & 4 gopher traps along the
