Roford, Roll 1975 Journal White Cloud campground, 11 miles east of Nevada City, Nevada Co., Calif. 95960. 3 Jan. north of the oak next to the trail midway between stake F1 and stake F2. I didn't hear a single squirrel vocalization all day. I did see a white-headed woodpecker, downy woodpecker, and a couple Virginia creeper. - Cloud cover about 50% at noon, increasing to 100% in early afternoon. Wind light. Temp. 39°F at 1600. 4 Jan. I watched and looked for squirrels from 0700 until 1650, with short breaks for breakfast and lunch. I stayed around the study site until mid-afternoon when I went east on Hwy 20 to the Excelsior Ditch turnoff, parking the truck at 1500 in the turnout. I wanted to see what the squirrel density in the white fir area south of Steephollow Creek was like. I crossed the Hwy, went east for a couple hundred meters, then southeast following road 17N29 to the fire tanker water supply on Steephollow Cr. I then followed the creek up to a small campground, then south up the hill to a logging road which I followed southwest up the hill. This area was almost entirely white fir, with some incense cedar. I then walked east along the crest of the hill for about 1/4 mile, then down the hill (north) back to the creek and the road, crossing it several hundred meters above the camp. I walked parallel to the road back to the truck. In the 1 hr. I'd spent walking through the white fir area I saw 6 sets of squirrel tracks,
