Murphy, Owyhee Co. Idaho May 25, 1935. Left for Murphy at about 10:30 this morning. As we were leaving I observed a Western Kingbird's nest in a mailbox beside the road, just above the cabin. It was nearing completion and was nearly ready for eggs. In Murphy saw Wood Pewees in the middle of town and Aldrich banded the nestlings in the Say Phoebe's nest. Davis learned that there were squirrels on the Gifford Ranch 5 miles southeast of town.
