Koford, R. 1975 Journal 7 mi. E Nevada City, 4060 ft., Nevada Co., Calif. 9 July 1145, 1151, and 1212, and saw one squirrel of unknown sex in the late afternoon. I looked from 0930 to 1230, 1630 - 2100. The sky was clear most of the time, with a few clouds on the eastern horizon in the morning and about 40% cloud cover with light clouds in the late afternoon. Wind light. Temp. about 60°F in early evening, about 80°F in the early afternoon. 10 July I got dry ice in the morning, then spent 0200 to 1300, 1600 to 2145 in the study area, hearing 11 churring calls, capturing no squirrels. Most of the morning was about 80% cloud cover, then 85% in the early afternoon, clearing in the late afternoon.
