This flock of Waxwings was soon joined by
another flock of about 300 smaller birds
which seemed to prefer the lower desert
shrubs to alight upon. The call reminded
me of Rosy Finch but the actions were
not remotely similar. One shot brought
down six Waxwings, but the flock of
smaller birds which I had not yet
identified left, flying up the valley, and
although I traveled up the valley more
than a mile, I did not see them
again.
In the afternoon I went up to Hailey where
I visited Mr. Linderman, who is probably the
only trapper who is now working the forested
country north of Ketchum. He had four
Marton pelts, one Mink and several Muskrat.
He also had very thoughtfully saved a number
of skulls from his last trip over the trap
line. I made arrangements to accompany him
as he made the rounds of his trap line the
next day.
