W.B. Davis 1935. 368 5 mls. SE Murphy, Owyhee Co., Idaho. May 26. We found no Citellus so drove back to Murphy and inquired again for these squirrels. Again we were told they could be found on Reynolds Creek and also that they could be found here. We chose this place for the presents. We stopped at the Gifford ranch about 1/4 mile from our camp and inquired for squirrels. He told us there were none, but that there were plenty of them at Reynolds Creek where his folks live. He said he had many big gophers in his field though, so we stopped and I set out 11 sets while the boys hunted for Citellus. They succeeded in killing three and in seeing several others, when Mr. Gifford saw the squirrel he said, "Oh, I didn't know you meant those little things." This statement leads me to believe that the Citellus at Reynolds Creek are Oregonus. I hunted for about an hour taking several Horned Larks - a very abundant bird in this area - a Dolmiec Warbler, a Brewer's Blackbird
