Areo, Butte Co., Idaho, June 23,
overlap in the area occupied by
these two squirrels.
Between [illegible] River and Bonanza
Bar there is a considerable area
that was once dry farmed, but
which has now been deserted. The
land is beginning to revert to its
former sage covering, but at present
is densely covered with June grass.
Here is the ideal place to find
C. mollis. I noted them constantly
up to within a mile of Bonanza Bar,
which, being an irrigated area along
the river, offers a habitat favorable
for C. oreganus and C. armatus. Only
the latter was found, and thus
it appears that the area from
Alliow to [illegible] River is a zone of
overlap for these two species of Citellus.
At [illegible] River I saw the following
birds - Long-tailed Chickadee, Western
and Eastern King birds, Black-billed
Magpie, Harmed Owl, Marsh Hawk, Flicker,
Yellow Warbler, Wex. Yellow-throat,
Souter, Horned Lark Sage Thrasher,
Pacific Nighthawk, Bank and Barn
Swallows, Brewer and Red-wing black-
birds, Black-headed Grosbeak.
