2 mi. E Nagerman, Gooding Co., Idaho. May 18,
This camp is just above Upper
Salmon Falls of the Snake River. Gooding
County is on the north side of the
river, Twin Falls County on the south.
It is my purpose to collect on both
sides of the river; all specimens
taken are labelled as from Twin Falls
County (south side) or Gooding County (north
side).
I looked at my mouse traps
set in the marsh, amongst reeds
and cat-tails and found only one
Microtus (no. 1209) and two Reithrodontomy's
(no. 1207-1208). A few of the other traps
were set off, but not a thing in them.
This was probably done by some marsh
bird, perhaps Rails. On the way back
to camp I collected a ♀ Willow Goldfinch
(no. 1210), a ♀ Redwing (no. 1212), a ♂ Long-
tailed Chat (no. 1211), and a ♂ Yellowthroat,
the latter badly shot up. The yellow-
throat ♂'s have established territories
and the testes are of breeding size. I
also found a nest with 6 eggs of the
Cinnamon Teal. This bird is by far
the commonest duck, and I should
judge that there must be nearly
50 breeding pairs in this neighborhood.
