Twining 1936 Baker Creek 12 mi. North Ketchum, Blaine Co., Idaho Jan. 3, 1936 Ketchum Linderman visited a series of six traps in the meanderings of a crooked slough bordering Wood River. We found one Muskrat in one trap which was medium size and prime. Linderman says that Muskrat become prime at this time of year, and that none of those caught previous to this time have been prime. About 8 miles beyond Ketchum at the lower end of Boulder Meadow, one of the traps, beneath an overhanging bank of the fast flowing stream, contained a large dark Mink. We camped in a small tent half covered with snow at the crossing of Baker Creek. Birds are exceedingly scarce in this country. Since leaving Ketchum I have seen 1 Ouzel, 1 Song Sparrow, and 3 Mountain Chickadees. Linderman has a number of frozen carcasses and skeletons which I will classify when I return. January 4, 1936 It snowed another 6 inches last night making more than 3 feet of snow in the open areas around camp. The snow is exceedingly light and dry, so snowshoes sink almost up to ones knees in the loose snow. We started up Baker Creek with Linderman breaking trail on
