February 1936 Belleve, Blaine Co., Idaho Jan 2, 1936 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. January 3, 1936 We started about noon today when the weather cleared enough to insure a road fairly free from snow. About 2 miles beyond
