5 mi. W Cozadalla, 3500 ft., Bonner Co., Idaho. July 26, 1932 Traps this a.m. contained 5 Sorex, 3 Microtus and 2 Microtus pennsylvanicus, 1 Lepus princeps and 1 Eutamias erebicus. A gopher was in one set at 6 a.m. and in the other set at noon. Saw 2 snowshoe Hares at 7 a.m. along the road. They ran into the brush beneath the pines and firs. I was able to see one when it stopped. A movement on my part caused it to run away slowly, thumping as it went along just as a cottontail would do. 1 Downy Woodpecker, 1 Hairy Woodpecker, 2 Red-shafted Flickers, 2 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Robins, 2+ Loline Warblers, 4+ Audubon Warblers, 4 House Wrens, 2 Warbling Vireos, 2 Israel Flycatchers, 1 Song Sparrow, 4 Chipping Sparrows, 2 Black-capped Chickadees, 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches noted this a.m. within 200 yards of camp. Yellow Warblers also seen. This p.m. I placed out 6 gopher sets. Pacific Righthawks seen and heard this evening. At 10 p.m. we were aroused by some animal clattering over some old shakes along the side of one of the old buildings. On examining the place with a flash light I saw a snowshoe Hare, moving more than, smelling about. It seemed to pay little attention to the light, slowly moving around the corner of the house out of sight. A Red-eyed Vireo was heard singing in one of the cottonwoods down along the creek today.
