2 mi. N.E. Krepper, 3000 ft., Clearwater Co., Idaho.
July 20, 1932
There were 2 Micrastus, 2 Zapus princeps and 1
Peromyscus ornatus. Several Micrastus were seen
growing thru the grass along the trap line. In one place
along the stream I saw a Muskrat swimming away
from me swiftly. When I moved it dove under and
disappeared beneath a log alongside of a bank. I set
a rat trap baited with rolled oats at that point.
Nothing was found in the steel sets. I left them out
during the day and placed out a dozen mouse traps
in suitable places for Micrastus. A chipmunk
was also found in one of the traps. I shot a
Song Sparrow and an Audubon Warbler along in
the willows. Found another gopher working N of
camp 1/4 mi. and placed a set there. Nothing was
in the set placed out yesterday. Shot a Crossbill
at camp. Flocks of them stay about all day.
Blanchard shot a Redstart yesterday and a Horned
Warbler. At noon I shot a few, or a pair of
Hairy Woodpecker
at camp. Also shot a Cactus Wren. A pair of Western
Tanagers were seen feeding young at noon today
as they were seen yesterday. Two adult and two
bob-tailed Olive-Backed Thrushes were seen at
camp. A pair of Sharp-Shinned Hawks and a
Red-Tailed Hawk were noted this a.m. A pair
of Calaveras Warblers were seen down in the willows this p.m.
American Three-toed Woodpeckers heard and seen today.
Blanchard shot an adult ♂ & ♀ & one juvenile.
