5 mi. S. E Murphy Oroyhee (B. Idaho) May 27, 1935 Headed Grosbeaks were conspicuously present in the canyon bottom along the stream. A Golden Eagle soared above the cliffs on the south side of the canyon for a few minutes, but I do not think it was nesting here. Davis shot an Olive Rocked Thrush in the canyon below the road, but we did not see any where we were. A Mountain Quail was heard uttering its throaty "querck" from the rocks on the north side of the canyon at dusk. May 28, 1935. This morning I skinned two Cistella leucodon and one C. organus all taken the day before. We packed up and left at about 10:30 heading northward. We stopped a couple of times to collect plants of the region so reached Murphy after noon. The eggs of the Linnet's nest were hatched and the Say Phoebe's nest contained only 4 young instead of 5. Two of the birds had retained the bands put on a few days before, the others were missing. We again took the road westward from Murphy, passed the shanty in which we saw them. Cistella were scarce and exceedingly shy. At Payette we heard that Cistella dahoonensis was common in the open fields south of town 88
