Roford * Superintendent McShane says that he saw an c.l. on road near headquarters, about 1 mile from dog town (last summer?). Cynomys ludovicianus May 29 1955 Devil's Tower, Wyo., wing to the tower. Restricted by rain, rocky slopes, so we changed little in range, except shift to N.4 some abandonment to 5. No c.l. here. Hawks + eagles said to sometimes take c.l. here. C.l. next to road on both sides a much traffic, so many killed by cars. // In the town mounds small & widely spaced. Dogs very tame & came toward people as if to be fed, to distance about 5 ft. Much feeding of c.l. near road by tourists. On flattest part town, near rain, much Aristida grass. One had burrow under edge of asphalt road in parking area. No juvenile seen. For cover of short grass & fobs (much Spharolea). C.o. strive feeding on these at place range when dogtown near road. *// We drove on to Theodore Roosevelt Natl Memorial Park (6 mi.) near Medora, N. Dakota. Chester Brooker, historian, this, especially interested in c.l. Dove towns had been losing c.l., until few left, for reasons unknown. At one colony a display sign was to be installed, but c.l. in area disappeared. Some other colonies doing well. // Last winter mild. In 1954 dry until fall, then snows & green. More especially good 1953 due summer rains. Mrs. Medora, S.Dak. May 21, 1955 Dog town here surveyed by Cole years ago. Generally in same places now. We visited eagle nest on top of mud bluff on E. side of Little Missouri River. Flushed adult & new eaglet (some black feathering now-three white down) in nest. Posterior half of a c.l. in nest. The new said a c.l. seen in the nest a week ago too. On town 1/2 mile to N. of nest & on other 1/4 mile S., both clearly visible. Both towns thriving. Beef Corral town on a wide green flat of gentle slope between road & river. For Silver sage 3' high in zone around, & some a few inches high on town. This appears to indicate indication elimination of this sage.
