Salmon Creek, 8 mi. W Rogerson,
Jwin Falls Co., Idaho, May 15.
at the dam where they are nesting
in a large colony.
On the way back to camp I killed
a young Marmot and a F? Mountain
Bluebird. The condition of the
latter indicated nesting.
The Marmots are occupying
two types of habitat here (1) the
Talus slopes of huge boulders,
and (2) open, rather sandy-loam
talus slopes where the burrows
are very conspicuous. The old
ones are very wary, much more
so than the younger ones and
as a result we have failed to
take any old specimens.
The following birds were noted:
Osprey - 1 lone bird flew over the
dam,
Prairie Falcon - nesting on the
East side of the canyon,
Yellow Warbler
Song Sparrow
Flicker.
King Fisher
Great Blue Heron
Rock Wren
Canyon Wren
Sox Phoebe
Lewis Woodpecker
Lark Sparrow
Brewer Sparrow
Horned Owl
Sparrow Hawk,
