Roford 108 Cynomys ludovicianus May 10, 1955. Nr. Ft. Collins, Colo. pocketed by light rain of yesterday. Saw 1 at burrow where a or had been trapped, but saw no other out at 7:30 a.m. Much Solola about 1" high gives grim aspect. Yesterday flushed a Lyman Californian hare. ½ o cumulus; 20 mph wind. // at Sec. 3 I shot an ad. 94 missed others shot at. One saw three mod. growth of 5" tall Distichlis & across 2' deep 4' wide ditch to burrow. One mound evidently bored out by badger, now had scratching to 6' distance as if c.d., trying to repair it. Brown Solola to 1" high common on same mounds; Lina ajillana or others. One had large Astragalus bisulcatus growing at entrance somewhat overhanging hole. Slight breakage of paste next to hole, but plant not eaten to any notable extent. Cut blades of Agropyron smithii where we seen feeding. Do not feed in gravel looking spots, however. Wellsloper above burrow generally grainer than lower slopes. No terrier found in mud in bottom. One burrow went down 10" 4' horizontally at least 5', about 8" below surface. Notable too that burrows not in low spots where grass grew most tallest (due ground water?). I found a few fresh diggings with cuttings lessor Lonatinum orientale & violates than. Much yellow violet growing on bare ground. Oenothera starting to flower. Two pounds without burrow showed fresh digging at crest. This colony extends to near next road to E., about a mile in length, along Fossil Creek. // at 2 p.m. visited Wellington horse pasture colony. I counted 14 (at least) in bolyan hours. Also saw two Cottrellia 13-liniseatus & 7 Apocynum in the mopped area. Much feeding in the thick Distichlis, now mostly green; at one time 5 at once in space 80 yds. long; ¾ A in extent, or
