Oct 1932 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.
