Glidden Lakes, 5700 ft., Shoshone Co., Idaho. July 25, 1932 Moved camp early this a.m. going back to Creey D'Alene where we stopped for 1 1/2 hours at noon. Went 5 miles N of town and hunted for C. Ruficaudus, but succeeded in only seeing one individual. Miller and Blanchard did not see any. Saw both Perdites gambeli and atricapillus there. Shot an adult ? and a few juvenos that were together in a small grove of Yellow Pines. Also shot a ? Rufous Hummingbird (?). Continued north to Coconulla and from there travelled 5 miles west to a point in the mountains where we camped. Our camp is situated at 3500 feet in a small meadow alongside of a stream. There is an abun- dance of grass and sedge in the immediate vicinity of the creek where there are Alders and Willows growing on either side of the meadow. Here is timber consisting of Lodgepole, Hemlock, Fir and a Cedar-like tree. Beneath the trees ferns, Thimbleberries, Huckleberries, and Raspberries are present with ripe fruit on them. The meadow-lands about here abound with gopher workings, largely fresh. I placed out two sets this evening. Along the creek I placed out 50 mouse traps. While I was placing out traps I observed both ? & ? House Wrens! carrying food to a nest located in a hole in a dead aspic trunk about 20 feet above the ground. Some bats were seen flying about the buildings when it was near dark.
