White Cloud campground 4300 ft, 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd), Nevada Co., Calif.
16 June the ~1800, recapturing the squirrel I caught yesterday
and catching 1 Brockey Ground Squirrel. I saw one Gray
Squirrel and a Stellar Jay with a kinglet-sized bird
in its mouth, probably a nestling or fledgling. Sky clear,
wind light. Temp. 58°F at 0600, 78°F at 1500, 64°F at 2100.
17 June I spent 0610-1330, 1615-2011 in the 1st study area, seeing
a mating bout and hearing hundreds of chirls. I
opened the 36 traps from 0700 to 0800, closed
then from 1630-1700, catching a juvenile and the
♂ I've caught the last couple days. I saw 2
Gray Squirrels which were very high on a clear
tree near C5--I think they were juveniles.
Sky clear, wind light. Temp. 58°F at 0600, 80°F at 1400,
67°F at 2030. The first chir I heard at the
truck was at 0533. At ~1600, several chirls
came from near the truck; then a ♂ gave an
alarm call, or did a squirrel a few meters away.
Chirring cell data was not taken after 1730.
18 June I spent 0635-1015 in the 1st study area, hearing 48 chirls.
The traps were opened at ~0700, picked up ~1000. I saw
a Gray Squirrel in the study area. Wind light, sky clear.
22 June I spent 1722-2000 in the 1st study area to count and
fill holes in 5 randomly-chosen squares. I recorded
chirls but made no effort to find squirrels until I
came in the evening. I saw 2 tame Gray Squirrels near
where I've seen a couple of presumed juveniles previously.
I heard 18 chirls. Wind light, sky clear.
