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.
