Rupert, Minidoka Co., Idaho. Dec. 26.
some 6 mi. S.E. Albion and bought three
badger skins from him. These were
taken in the near vicinity and the
skins were well prepared, with fat
attached. These were the only skins
Mr. Peterson had taken this season.
He promised to get skulls for me --
skulls for these skins). The skins are
numbered 1, 2, 3 and the skulls,
when gotten, will correspond to these
numbers). No. 1630 is # 3.
Mr. Peterson told me that "Civet
Oats" were common in the rocky
draws) in the range of hills to the
East of Albion. He seemed much
interested in our work and would
perhaps be worth training to collect
small fur bearers). I plan to visit
him again next summer and
show him how to put up small
mammals).
He also reported seeing a white
weasel on his ranch a week previous.
Dec. 27
Spent the day in skinning my
hawks and the owl and storing
the skins). Snow #1/2" today. Took a
walk at 4 P.M. & saw juncos, Song Sparrows &
Doves Larks.
