Salmon Creek, 8 mi. W Rogerson, Twin
Falls County, Idaho. May 14.
I visited my traps this morning
about 6 A.M. The sun was up an
hour, but the piercing cold accompanied
by a stiff SE breeze preserved all
specimens.
In an area of loose boulders
amongst Artemisia I took three
Perognathus parvus; amongst the
rocky cliffs Peromyscus (10) were
common, and in this same
type of habitat I took one Reithrodontys.
Five Dipodomys were taken in the
semi-sandy sage covered areas.
The following were my takes:
Dipodomys ordi. 5 ♀ adults.
Perognathus parvus 1♂ 2♀ "
Peromyscus maniculatus 4♂ 6♂ "
Peromyscus ? 1♂ "
Reithrodonmys 1♀ "
Stayed in camp until about 4:00 P.M.
putting up specimens, then went down
into the canyon below the dam. Here
the canyon walls are nearly
vertical with innumerable jute holes
which offer excellent nesting sites
for Swifts, Swallows, Hawks and
Owls. Located the nesting site of
a Western Redtail and a Horned.
