W.B. Davis 1/1935 487 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.
