Kaufman, Clark Co, Idaho. June 27
was about 16 miles NW of American Falls
that I found a good colony and I
collected several.
These squirrels remind me very
much of C. idahoensis in actions
and especially in the 'dee dee dee dee'
type of call. They certainly are different
from those on the south side of
the Snake River, and I believe their
affinities are with idahoensis.
I turned east again and drove
into Aberdeen and from there followed
the main highway to Pingree, a
small village about 19 miles by highway
from Blackfoot, on the west side of
the river. About 5 miles W of Aberdeen
I found a colony of about a dozen
pairs of Long-billed Curlews. They were
in an area of mixed Artemisia and
June grass, the latter predominating,
and about two miles from the
nearest water. Two were collected, one
saved as a skin, the other as a
skeleton. I ate the meat of one and
it proved quite delicious even though
the flesh is dark and coarse.
About 2 mis SW of Aberdeen I
collected a garter Snake on a canal
