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.
