and- small shot, but one of the
weight spack boys got it with
k heavy load. Howard put up skin.
Citelus teurodon - Some time was
unsuccessfully spent trying to
shoot some of these a few miles
from our morning camp. Howard
got shot one with .308 but
lost it. I heard several all
around me but couldn't see
any. Notes were composed of a
very high-pitched squeak usually
of two syllables. At first I
thought they were squeaking bushes
in the wind, until I heard it
when the wind wasn't blowing.
Their mounds & holes are evident
(very small). The location of
this observation is 3 mi E Linder's.
