Homedale, Owyhee Co., Idaho. May 31,
On the evening of the 29th I set out
30 additional traps — besides the 30
west of town; The others were taken up
in an area (sandy) about a mile
west of the first hill west of town.
Set out 7 rat traps too in this area.
Next morning I had 18 Dipodomys
8 of which were adult or nearly so, and
25 Perognathus parvus. Lates were
taken in not so sandy areas as were
the Dipsos.
Caught another Ammospermophilus
in a mouse trap. She also was
suckling young. She was in better
condition than was the first one
and made a better skin. At that,
she must have lain in the sun
for an hour or more before I got to
her.
Night hawks are quite common
in this area, 3's were noted feeding
early in the evening.
