Orr 1932 Cehro Ranger Sta., 4000 ft., Crook Co., Oregon. June 21, 1932 stream in grass and beneath Alders & willows, particularly the mouse traps in order to catch jumping mice & Meadow mice. I heard Owl heard calling at 8:15 p.m. June 22, 1932 This a.m. the mouse traps contained 1 Zapus, 2 Peromyscus maniculatus, and 2 Microtus noradax that were immature one 1/4 gram & the other 3/4 gram. Two gophers were taken. Five rat traps set out in the meadow captured 2 Oregon Ground Squirrels, one adult and the other 1/2 grown. I walked up the creek 1/2 mile and then went up a side canyon in some Fir and on the top of the ridge Mountain Mahogany. One the the canyon floor among fallen logs three Eutamias amocus were shot. I also shot an adult Oregon Ground Squirrel and an immatures Golden Mantled Ground Squirrel. The former are to be found in grassy clearing. The latter among fallen logs in the Fir and Yellow Pine Belt. I particularly hunted for Red Squirrels but not a one was seen or heard. A deer, seeming a White-tailed Deer was seen on the side of the ridge. I found a lower jaw and Miller found a dead carcass hung on a barbed-wire fence. Down in the fir belt I saw at close range a Townsend Warbler. Its song reminded me very much of that of the Black-throated Gray Warbler. A number of young Robins were noted today.
