Belleve, Blaine Co. Idaho, Dec 27, 1930 seems to be south. At about 4:00 P.M. I located a flock in a tall aspen in the yard of a house about 2 blocks out of the center of Bellevue. I immediately noticed that the birds were large in size and closer examination showed white patches on the wings and a noticeable orange color of the under tail coverts. The entire flock was no doubt composed of Bohemian Waxwings and it is likely that all of the birds seen today were of the same species. In the afternoon I visited Eugene Glahn living on the outskirts of Bellevue east of town. He had several mounted specimens of birds amongst which was a Bonapart Gull, collected on Magic Dam 14 mi. south of Bellevue, an Avocet from the power plant a mile north of Bellevue, a Golden Eagle, American Goldencaps, and Screech Owl, all collected near Bellevue. He had two skins of Mountain Goat which he had shot in the mountains north of here. I obtained a foot of a Mountain Goat collected October 11, 1935, a male. I also purchased a Badger skin for $2.00, trapped on November 22, 1935. The skin, he said, was in dark phase.
