1935.
Head Big Lost River, 7895 ft., Custer Co., Idaho.
July 12
These birds have a peculiar screeving
call that reminds me very much of
the Spotted Fowhee. Variety in the bird
found seemed to be lacking, although I
must admit I gave very little time
to the birds).
Mosquitoes, Horse Flies, Deer Flies,
Blow Flies and Buffalo Gnats make life
miserable. There is no escaping them!

My traps this a. m. held 1 Thomomy.
Reset some of them. Killed a & Sciurus
t. richardsoni this a. m. near camp.
There are several Squirrels in this area,
but they are difficult for me to locate.
Looked at my traps about 10:30 and
took 2 more Thomomy. This is the
type locality for T. fuscus fuscus
and I am anxious to get a representative
series. One of these is a yg & which I
placed in formalin. All the ad. ?'s taken
have had 4 pairs of mammal.
Took a ? Callospermophilus in the Lodge
Pole pine area. No Eutamias seen.
Broke camp about noon and drove
back to Elba, Cassia Co., to pick up my son
who was visiting with relatives there.
