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.

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
