Orr 1932 SW slope Cuddy Mtn., 4600 ft, Washington Co., Idaho. July 2, 1932 Towhee near camp that was singing in a clump of Arbutus at 5:30 a.m. Blaukhard brought in a Red Squirrel and an immature Chipmunk. Miller also brought back 2 Chipmunks, one immature (neotomodon) and the other an adult, apparently of the quadricutatus group. Miller reported seeing several Red-eyed Vireos farther down stream in the Cottonwood, also shot a Hermit Thrush. I heard one of the latter singing yesterday at 3:00 p.m. Blaukhard shot 2 Lewis Woodpeckers down in the Yellow Pine belt near Artemisia. An Olive-backed Thrush nest with 5 eggs in it was found by Miller in a clump of Alders next to the creek. The nest was in the center of the clump which was small, hence the nest was clearly visible at 10 yards distance. One was heard singing in this vicinity yesterday and today, but nobody observed any bird sitting on the nest during this p.m. The nest and set of eggs were collected by Millers. Saw another Snowshoe Hare at 7:20 p.m. It was in a small grassy clearing near the creek. When I saw it, the animal was running in the heavy manner seemingly characteristic of L. baldii. It disappeared in a pile of dead drift wood and young Alders. July 3, 1932 This a.m. there were only 6 Peromyscus maniculatus in the traps. Three of these were caught out on small mossy islands in the center of narrow, shallow streams flowing from springs. One was in the water and was covered with Cladus and Laches. Moved camp at 8:30 a.m. going back to Cambridge and from there to a point 3 mi. W of
