Black 35 May 14 Salmon Cr Reservoir, Twin Falls Co, Idaho. Weather most always cold & very windy; patchy Cumulus clouds. Collected the trap line at sunup & spent most putting up specimens. In late afternoon went over to East of Camp where to a "Shelf Cliff" and hunted Rabbits. I flushed four Sage Pines (2 pr.) about 40 yds. in front of me. They flew low & with a loud a noise of their wings they went out of sight over a little rise in the terrain. Attempting to flush them again yielded no results. This was new on my "Life List". Come back to camp & set out traps till dark. Bill had returned from below the dam in the fry-canyon. He brought with him a young Flamed Owl nearly adult size yet much light-colored down still present. It had fallen from its nest a good many feet above on the ledge. When I almost dark 2 Common Goons were heard giving their maniacal laughing calls far over the lake. Birds for today: Mourning Dove 2 Lark Sparrow 15 ± Vesper ":" 6± Cliff Swallow many Raven 2 White-throated Swift 3
