Orr 1932 Sanis. W Payette L., 5400 ft., Adams Co., Idaho. July 5, 1932 The grassy slope. Pair of Horned Owls heard at 8 p.m. calling as they did the night before. Saw several bats. Placed out three gopher sets on the ridge. Hasta June July 6, 1932 Placed out another gopher set at 6:30 a.m. Mouse traps contained 10 footsups (3 jumbels) and 1 gapers. One gopher taken from sets placed out last night and at 10:30 a.m. one taken from set placed out early this a.m. Took a walk over towards Little Gosse Creek, down along an irrigation ditch running from a spring in the canyon in which I trapped. Caught 2 Rana pretiosa along the banks. Saw a number of Solenic Warblers along the streams. In a sedge covered meadow a pair of Lincoln Sparrows were noted. No white-crowned Sparrows were seen in the willow growth along the streams in a meadow that seemed quite suitable for them. Shot a Cassin Vireo in a Lodge Pole Pine on the ridge where an adult's gonus was shot last night and 7 and several young seen. Hunt down at 11:30 a.m. to collect some tadpoles in a small pool in the meadow and found a Garter snake emerging from the pool. Found the remains of a young Groundslove take upon a fir about 7 feet above the ground. Seemed like the work of a Horned Owl. July 7, 1932 This a.m. Miller caught a Sour in a line of 15 traps that he placed out in the meadow.
