Salmon Creek, 8 mi. W Rogerson,
Jwin Falls Co., Idaho. May 13.
Left Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif., May
11 at 1:10 P.M. in company with
Elmes Aldrich and Howard Twining.
Drove to Winnemucca, Nevada the
first night, arriving there about
1:00 a.m.; a distance of 382 miles.
Pulled off the road about 5 miles
E of that town and slept. Heard
a Mockingbird.
We encountered heavy snow in
the Sierras though the road was
clear.
About 6 miles east of Carlin we
stopped at noon and ate lunch.
While there we climbed to the top
of some bluff that overlooked the
Humboldt River and visited a
Prairie Falcon's nest. It was in a
natural cave and was reached
by means of rope. Aldrich took
a photo of the eggs (4) in situ
and I collected the set which
proved to have been incubated
about ten days. Took a W-T Swift here
and a Rock Wren. #1143.
Drove on to this camp,
arriving here about 7:00 P.M.
Our present camp is at the north
end of the Salmon Creek Reservoir.
