1932 5 mi. E Warm h., 7000 ft., Valley Co., Idaho. July 8, 1932 number of large tadpoles. Captured a Bufo onumy willius 1 mi. S of here at noon. This evening a Pacific Nighthawk was heard. Placed out 55 traps in places similar to where I placed them last night only down stream and among Blueberry Bushes. July 9, 1932 This a.m. there were 3 Zapus, 1 Sorex, Microtus (muridax?) and 1 Peromyscus maniculatus (juv.). One of the Zapus had been caught beneath a bank 1 1/2 feet from the stream. It was only cought by the tail and had evidently been jumped into the water because the traps with the drowned animal was found in a drift 100 feet down stream. Grouse are scarce here, probably due to the lack of many firs. Two Clarkes Nutcrackers flew across the canyon at 10:30q.m. Shot a Chickadee (P.gambeli) yesterday. Moved camp in mid-afternoon over to the Sawtooth Range just over the divide about 5 miles west of Cape Horn. A Snowshoe Hare was seen to cross the road at 4:20 p.m. along the road 23 miles by speedometer from our last camp. Another was seen 15 min. later several miles beyond here and a mule deer (spike buck) was seen in same vicinity. All three of these animals were seen where there was rather heavy undergrowth beneath the Lodgepoles , firs and Spruces. At Bear Valley on the west side of the Sawtooth Range Horned Larkes and Savannah
