Koford, R. 1925 Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City, Nevada Co., Calif. 4 May I spent 0900 to 1300 following tracks in the study area, but by the afternoon the tree drip and the sun had made the tracking poor. I spent 1400 to 1530 and 1915 to 2015 in the study area looking for squirrels. It snowed lightly starting around 1400, then heavily for a little while around 1530, but it didn't stick to the bare spots on the ground - about 1 cm. fell. Wind was light, Temp. 27° F at 0900, 33° F at 1600. Under one Douglas Fir which had squirrel tracks leading up to it I found several branch tips with male cones up to 2 cm. long. Some of, but not all, of the male cones had been eaten. Perhaps the squirrels prefer the newly broken buds. I saw several Gray Squirrel tracks, some skunk tracks, Snowshoe Hare tracks, and fox-sized dog/aine tracks. The traps were left closed. 5 May I spent 0830 to 1300, 1500 to 1930 in the campground and study area, mostly the latter. I opened the traps in the morning, recaught 1 squirrel, then closed them at around 1830 since I don't plan to be checking them tomorrow. Two fresh churring calls were heard. I saw Gray Squirrel tracks. early Wind 5-10 mph. Sky was clear in the morning, then 50-90% cloud cover the rest of the day. Temp. was 40° F at 0830, 46° F at 1500, 42° F at 2000.
