Much snow on Mts. Coming
over pass & dropped into Reynolds

of the afternoon trapping gophers
(T. quadratus) & shooting squirrels.
(C. oregonus). We then went to
Melba & back to the "Pine Rock"
2 mi S. melba which is located
at the N. Base of a Sage-covered
Butte.
Say Phoebe - The nest previously
seen was again examined & some
startling had changes had taken
place since our last visit. There
was a dead ♂ Sinnet in the nest
which somebody probably put
there, another Sinnet post was
located beside the Phoebe's nest.
One yng. Phoebe was missing +
only I had their bands on).
Citellus leurodon - These squirrels
were [illegible] encountered a
few mi. N.W. Reynolds Cr. again.)
