Koford, R. 1975 Journal Skilman Campground, 3 1/2 mi. N, 12 mi. E Nevada City, Nevada Co., Calif. 24 July I spent the morning trying unsuccessfully to collect squirrels in the area W of the campground, while leaving the traps set. I heard churring calls at 0605, 0638, 0730, 0822, 0832, 0837, 0918, three at 0937. I saw one squirrel when it was too far away to get a good look at, then couldn't find it when I got closer. There were numerous holes where squirrels had dug up subterranean fungi. The area is much more moist than the area around White Cloud campground, with very small creeks flowing down the north-facing slope where I was. There were many bush-sized plants, mostly dogwood and hazelnut. The large trees were mostly Douglas and white Fir, with some Sugar Pines, Ponderosa Pines, and Black Oaks. I saw a single fox. Wind light, sky clear, temp. about 65°F at 0800, 75°F at noon. I left at 1300. White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd.), Nevada Co., Calif. 30 July I arrived shortly before 1030 and spent from then to 1300, 1330 to 2030 in the study area, putting out 14 traps, catching one squirrel, and hearing 7 churring calls. There were about 10 species in the campground occupied, and I heard no dogs or motorcycles. Wind very light mostly, but occasionally up to 15 mph. Temp. 70°F at 1800, 57°F at 2000. Sky clear. 31 July I spent 0730-1300, 1600-2030 in the study area, catching one squirrel and hearing 5 churring calls. I moved the 8 traps in the W end of the study area to the middle of the study area. I caught and released one California Ground Squirrel, one young Harris's Thrush, and one Stellar Jay. Sky clear, wind 0-10 mph, Temp. 60°F at 0800, 75°F at 1830, and 62°F at 2000.
