Koford, K. 1976 Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd), Nevada Co, Calif. 5 June several fledgling Juncos. I also saw a deer and chipmunk in the study area. The sky was clear, wind up to ~20 mpl. in the morning, light in the afternoon. Temp. mid 50's in early morning and around sunset, reaching high 60's. 6 June I spent 0605-1245, 1510-2023 in the second study area, hearing 29 chirps. The traps were open from ~0700- ~1800, caught nothing. I found a nest tree with 5 juveniles in it, saw 2 Gray Squirrels.

The morning was windy - up to ~20 mpl, but the afternoon was fairly calm (< 5 mpl). Temp. ranged from mid-50's to near 70°F. 7 June I spent 0633-1115 in the second study area, hearing 29 chirps. The traps were opened at ~0700, picked up from 1000-1115. The cloud cover was 70-50% in the early morning, then clear. Wind to ~20 mpl.

I put out, but did not set, 30 Tomahawk and 6 Young's traps. Several Ponderosa Pines have dozens of small cone cones under them, and [illegible] the ground is covered with Douglas Fir strobili.
