Koford, R. 1976 Iam Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 Ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd), Nevada Co., Ca Lit. 20 April I spent 0526-0810, 0900-1440, 1707-1850 in the first study area, plus a couple minutes at 1530. I heard 26 chirs, caught one squirrel. I opened the traps at 0800, removed them at 1330. I then set 30 traps N of the highway, in the area W of the picnic area - I didn't open the traps, but scattered peanuts near them. I collected tips from under the Douglas Fir I'm monitoring at 0527 and 1300. I've seen several different kinds of mushrooms, but none that seem to have been eaten by squirrels. The pollen from the Douglas Firs was flying today. It looks like many Douglas Fir cones are going to be produced this year. Also, I counted new acorns under several more oaks. I saw a Gray Squirrel in the same tree with a chickadee - no chase even though they must have been aware of each other. The sky was clear, wind light. Temp. 47°F at 0545, 64°F at 1530, 51°F at 2000. 21 April I spent 0535-0858, 1735-1845 in the second study area, hearing 24 chirs and seeing a & interact with 3 more. There seem to be at least 2 & living near the E end of the area. Around 0830 I opened the 30 traps, closed them around 1700. I caught one ♀ which didn't seem pregnant by palpation. I could squeeze a little milk out of her nipple. She was caught under a Douglas Fir with hundreds of tips on the ground under it. Also, I caught an Beechey Ground Squirrel and one Red-breasted Nuthatch. Sky clear in the morning, overcast in P.M. Wind to 20 mph in P.M. Temp. 46°F at 0600, 56°F at 1600, 49°F at 1845.
