Koford, R. 1975 Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City, Nevada Co, Calif. 23 May I arrived at 1130 and set out 15 traps in the east end of the study area. I parked to the N of the Hwy, at a place about 100m. from the Hwy on a dirt road at the 29.30 mile marker. The campground was full (they're now charging) by noon, and kids, dogs, smoke, motorcycle noises, etc. filled the area. I walked around the study area from 1130 to 1300, 1630 to 1730, and 1900-2000. I found a dead California Ground Squirrel in a trap by a rotting log at 1631. The trap was baited with peanuts, which were in his cheek pouches. He had evidently gotten too much sun and rigor mortis had already set in. I neither saw nor heard any squirrels. Sky was clear, wind light. There are several small (< 1m) patches of snow left. The oaks have leafed out and the leaves have mostly turned from red to green. At least 1 Ponderosa Pine had purple catkins on it and several Sugar Pines have developing cones about 10+ cm. long. New bird: Western Wood Pewee 24 May I walked around in the study area from 0820 to 1230, 15:00 to 2000, hearing 1 churring call. The campground is still full and noisy. The sky was clear, wind 2-10 mph, temp. 58°F at 0830, 70°F at 15:00, 58°F at 1930. 25 May I walked around the study area from 0830 to 1230, 15:00 to 1800. I heard 2 churring calls after getting back to the truck. I closed the traps before leaving the study area. The campground is still full of people. The sky was clear, wind light. Temp. 58°F at 0830, 71°F at 15:00, 59°F at 19:00. One chipmunk was seen, and I saw a pair of Rufous-sided Towhees and a Swainson Thrush.
