Oct 1932 Sonl. W Cocolalla, 3500 ft., Bonner Co., Idaho. July 27, 1932 There were 3 gophers in the sets this a.m. I placed out three new sets then went up an old lumber road to some clearing over the ridge. In the Lodgepole and Pines I aroused two Golden-crowned Kinglets and 4 Western Tanagers by giving some Pigeon Owl notes. At the same place I shot a Red Squirrel as it was leap- ing from tree to tree. Chipmunks were quite nerv- ous around the edge of the clearing. I shot three and Miller shot three. In one place where most of the trees were dead I shot a young or Fairy Woodpeck. Beneath the same tall stump a young Snowshoe Hare bounded into the undergrowth. I took a quick shot at it and killed it. About 50 yards farther on two of the chipmunks were shot from the same leg. Up on the ridge about this spot I heard an Olive-sided Flycatcher and a Steller Jay. I went up to see if I could get a Jay and saw an Arctic Three-toed drumming on a dead stump. I shot it and at the same moment a Great Horned Owl flew out from some pines and lit near me. I also shot it and a Flicker which had apparently been aroused by the commotion. Down in another shadow I called the third chipmunk to me by squeaking. Out in a clump of willows I shot an in- mate Red-crested Sapsucker. At 10:30 a.m. another young gopher was taken from one of the sets placed out last night. A Night Hawk was seen flying over the meadow at this hour.
