Salmon Cr. 8 mi. W. Rodgers, Twin
Falls Co., Idaho
Patchy cumulus clouds nearly
all day and a cold breeze.
Spent most of day hunting
Marmots on tolas Slope. Saw
as many as 7 at one time.
Many of the ymg of the year
came within 8 ft.; fatally stills
yielded but one young (385 mm)
Their barking sounded similar to
Calif. Ground Squirrels but louder
and lower in pitch. Returned
to camp & did some skinning.
Then went to hunt for Marmots
again, but shade was on the
tolas slope & they were in for
the night. While looking west
from a vantage point, I marvel
marvel at the largeness of this
relatively barren bypanse. An
occasional Utah Snipe was seen
