White Cloud campground, 4300ft, 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rail), Nevado Co., Calif.
26 July I spent 0540-1230, 1503-2034 in the 2nd study area,
hearing 51 chirrs. I opened the 30 traps at 0845-0925,
closed then at 1745-1815. I follow a ♀ for a long
time in the morning, and I think he took a trip
outside his territory. I saw a couple summer-pease
or juniniler go into their hole, and saw another
juvenile go into a tree which probably has a
nest. One adult or apparently spent much of the
hot day in a hole - I saw him come out.
At 1915 a coyote howled ~ 1/4 mile W of the
study area. Wind light, sky clear, temp. 65°F at 0530,
91°F at 1500, 73°F at 2100.
27 July I spent 0544-1320, 1615-1700, 1740-2035 in the 2nd study
area, hearing 45 chirrs. I opened the 30 traps at 0645-0735,
closed then at 1740-1840, catching a ♂ juvenile and
a Steller Jay. One nest was found in the evening.
There were a few lazy clouds in the afternoon, less than
5/7. Wind light. Temp. 65°F at 0540, 88½°F at 1600, 74°F at 2045;
28 July I spent 0520-1330, 1610-1740, 1752-2015 in the 2nd study
area, hearing 69 chirrs. I didn't set the traps, but when
I picked them up at ~1700, one was still open and
had peanuts in it - I evidently forgot to close it
yesterday. I saw a couple juvenile Gray Squirrels and
heard a Gray Squirrel alarm call. I also saw a
flock of bushtits - the first live seen here in the
afternoon. I saw a ♀ go into her hole in the
