White Cloud campground, 4300 ft, 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd.), Nevada Co., Calif.
22 April I spent 0710-1205, 1715-1845 in the 2nd study area,
hearing 12 chirring calls. I opened 30 traps N of
hwy 20, W of the Picnic Area at about 0630,
closed them at about 1630, and checked them
around 1300. I caught a & chickoree in the morning -
the same one I caught yesterday, I think; and
that & and a ? and a Becker Ground Squirrel in
the afternoon. The ? later escaped. The morning
was largely overcast - 50-100% cloud cover - and
windy - westerly 5-25 mph. Then it cleared in the
afternoon. Temp. 43°F at 0600, 59°F at 1330, 46°F at
1845. I heard a Gray Squirrel.
23 April I spent 0700-1005 in the 2nd study area, 1115-1125
and 1140-1220 in the first, hearing 1 chirring call.
I opened the 30 traps N of the hwy around 0630,
checked them at 1030, picked them up at
1300. I caught one ? - the same one as before, I
think, and ? AD in the morning, and a chipmunk
in the early afternoon, which I released. It was a
clear day, wind light. Temp. 47° at 0645, mid 60's when I left.
