Koford, R. 1976 Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd.), Nevada Co., Calif. 27 May I spent 0545-1200, 1255-2020 in the 1st study area, hearing 238 chirr plus a few I didn't record. Apparently a war is extra, and there was lots of chosing and calling. I opened the 35 traps for 0730-0900, closed them a little after 1700.

I spent 0605-1250, 1540- 1920 in the 2nd study area, setting 38 traps in the late morning, closing them ~1800. I also spent 1425-1515 in the 1st study area, trying to see DG's juveniles, but I saw nothing on the tree. In the second study area, I saw scales from one small Sugar Pine that had been eaten on the ground, and scattered
