Salmon Creek, 8 mi. W Rogerson,
Twin Falls County, Idaho, May 13,
A Horned Owl was heard
hooting from the cliffs below the
dam last night and again
tonight.
Aldrich brought in a young
maroonah today and reported a
large colony on the west side
of the canyon. Twining brought
in a Ruby-crowned Kinglet and
a 9 Cottontail that contained
10 embryos 62 mm. (rump-crown);
also a young Pygmy Rabbit.
This evening I set out 30 mouse
traps - a few amongst the rocks
at the top of the cliff east of the
reservoir, but most of them in
the sage where the soil was
semi-sandy. These were spaced
approximately 25 paces.
I was talking with the
keeper of the reservoir, Mr.
Today and he informed me that
he killed a Bob-cat (Lynx Cat) here
last winter. He also told me that
two badgers had been taken in
this vicinity a few days previous
to our arrival. He reported the
presence of Skunk and Civet Cat.)
