5 mi. SE Murphy, Owyhee Co., Idaho, May 26,
crest of the mound proper, saw to
a considerable depth. One was
fully 24" down, and still going, when
we gave up.
We have been unable to take our
old mole so far. Doubtless they are
still out - not in hibernation. We
found them active outside the
burrows up to 6:00 P.M.
The following birds were noted today:
Raven, Linnet, Meadowlark, Magpie,
Rough-winged Swallow, Horned Lark,
Brewer Blackbird, Say Phoebe, Western
Kingbird, English Sparrow, Sage Sparrow,
Rock Wren.
May 27.
Quining and Aldrich looked at
their 60 traps (30 each) that were
set partly in Artemisia and partly in
Bass Atriplex. Their net result was
1 Perognathus, 1 Citellus leucodax and
a Spade-foot toad.
I looked at the four rat traps
and 4 stab sets for Citellus leucodax
and found one in a rat trap. All
traps (these last 8) were left set
and looked at later in the day,
