Rupert Mindaka Co. Idaho Jan 8, 1936 Albion in order to obtain a few more photographs of the country before leaving. The January thaw has commenced leaving the desert almost free of snow. Almost every low spot is filled, or is running water. An examination of a dense hedge bordering the road about 3 miles south of the Snake River yielded a large flock of English Sparrows, a lone Song Sparrow, a few Willow Goldfinches, and two Red Shafted Flickers. As the road starts its climb toward Albion a small clump of Juniperus scopulorum appears on the hillside above the road. Davis shot a Black Tailed Jackrabbit here, and we took a number of feet of movie film. We were disappointed to find that the thaw had removed almost every trace of snow from the vicinity of Albion, and we would have to leave Idaho without taking more photographs of snow scenes. Ten miles west of Burley we collected a pair of Horned Larks from a flock of about 30.
