Orr 1932 Glidden Lakes, 5700 ft., Shoshone Co., Idaho. July 23, 1932 This evening I placed set 55 mouse traps along the stream and a number of them in a sedge covered meadow. Collected a Lama in the sedge covered meadow. It has the same red legs as those taken at the last two camps. Not a sign of a gopher was noted anywhere during the day. This evening a Horned Owl was heard. July 24, 1932 1 Microtus ____, 2 Peromyscus maniculatus and 1 Zapus princeps in traps this a.m. The Microtus was taken in the sedge, the Zapus along the stream in a moist grassy place and the two Peromyscus in a type of buckelgrass that is growing in small open spaces between the firs. At 7 a.m. I started across the canyon coming down from Lower Glidden Lake. Down in the canyon bottom there are some tall firs (Abies) that evidently were not burnt at the time that most of these trees were - There is a dense growth beneath the trees in this canyon making headway through this area very difficult. It took me 2 1/2 hour the cross through 1/2 mile of this over to the other ridge. At 7:10 a.m. I shot a or Vermut Thrush that was singing from the top of a fir about 25 feet above the ground. Down in the dense jungle land beneath the firs I gave some Bregny Owl notes and immediately two winter wrens flew up to me and stayed within 10 feet or less of me during a 15 minute period that I continued to give such notes and squawk. Very shortly after
