White Cloud campground, 4300ft, 11 mi E Nevada City (by rd.), Nevada Co., Calif.
23 June I spent 0950-1320, 1600-2030 in the 2nd study area, hearing
53 chirps, many in the vicinity of S1 late in the
afternoon - perhaps the end of a mating bout. I set 30 traps
from 0900 until 1200, closed then ~1800. Sky clear, wind to
~15mph, Temp reached 80°F by 1530.
24 June I spent 0620-0626, 0634-1310, 1540-2057 in the 2nd
study area, hearing 59 chirps. I opened the 30 traps
from 0730 to 0900, closed then ~1800, catching one
juvenile Junco. I watched a new nest oak - 4 juveniles.
I saw 2 Gray Squirrels - probably juvenile - near the
nest oak, and one adult in the study area.
Sky clear, wind to ~15mph, Temp. 64°F at 0620, ~80°F in
the afternoon, 64°F at 2100.
25 June I spent 0635-1250, 1520-1930 in the 2nd study area,
hearing 124 chirps. I opened the 30 traps from 0800
until 0840, closed then ~1800. I saw 2 Gray Squirrels,
juveniles, I think. Sky clear, wind light. Temp. fro 10°-60½°F)
at 0630 to ~80°F in the afternoon.
26 June I spent 0717-1310, 1600-2105 in the 2nd study area, hearing
111 chirps. I opened the 30 traps ~0800, closed then
~1800. I saw two juvenile Gray Squirrels and 2 adults-
one cutting a Ponderosa Pine cone. I went into Nevada
City for supplies in the afternoon - but no dry ice
was available. Sky clear until late afternoon, when
there was ~20% cloud cover. Wind light. Temp reached ~90°F.
I found a new family in an oak which I knew was
used by a ♀ earlier.
