127 Oct 1932 12 mi. S Canyon City, 5500 ft., Grant Co., Oregon. June 26, 1932 in the vicinity, one drumming loudly on a tall dead Fir, and the other staying quite close to me. A Brown Creper flew to the same stump while I was there, and a Reyny Nuthatch came within 10 feet of it on a small adjacent Fir. Two deer, presumably Mule Deer, were seen crashing out of a nearby thicket, but no more than a glimpse of the rump was to be had of one of them. This evening Blanchard shot a Black Bat at about 7:45 p.m. It was flying high and rather slowly away the Yellow Pines about camp. Between 8 and 8:30 p.m. a number of lighter colored, fast moving, low flying bats were seen flying about. An Owl of unknown species was heard to give a medium pitched, staccato note at 2 second intervals for over 25 minutes, starting at 9:30 p.m. One of the gopher set contained a very small Gopher which was not saved. This q'ms. Miller brought in two more of those large ground squirrels and a Callospermophilus. I found a number of these squirrels down the canyon 100 yards at the public camp. Their hole resembled one of an Oregon Ground Squirrel, but have large mounds outside. They did not set up on their hind feet as the Oregon one would do, but ran slowly to their holes and
