1935.
Elba, Cassia Co., Idaho, June 12,
in the Canyon, one of which was
collected. I saw several Mountain
Chickadees in the willows along
the creek up near the head of the
canyon. It appears to me that
the Mountain Chickadee ranges
higher zonally than does the Long
tailed Chickadee. I heard dozens
of Ruby-crowned Kinglets singing
in the tops of the Douglas Fir.
I heard one Junco, but was unable
to collect it.
On the way back to camp I
jumped a deer and a Mountain
Lion. The latter was near the
site where the deer had been bedded
down and when frightened it
trotted in long easy strides across
the ridge and down into Cassia
Creek Valley. It is reported - Mr. Wickel
and others - that a few have
given some trouble with the cattle
the past few years.
For the past two days I have
been hunting squirrels here at
Elba. Both O. bregmaeus and arnutus
are here, and I believe are occupying
the same type of habitat.
