White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd.), Nevada Co., Calif.
23 Sept. morning, becoming overcast in the mid-afternoon, then clearing.
Wind light. Temp. 51°F at 0625, 78°F at 1430, 60°F at 1930.
24 Sept. I spent 0713-1110, 1300-1915 in the 2nd study area. I opened the 15 traps from 0820-0900, closed them from 1740-1750, catching 2 juveniles, but I'd run out of dry ice so they only got Lady Chairol nuts. I went into Nevada City at midday for more dry ice and supplies.
I heard 4 chirps, saw 2 Gray Squirrels. The sky was ~20% cloudy in the morning, clear in the afternoon.
Wind was light. Temp. 57°F at 0700, 75°F at 1300, 61°F at 1930.
25 Sept. I spent 0628-1305, 1430-1920 in the 2nd study area. I opened the 15 traps at 0930-0850, closed them ~1730. I heard 8 chirps, saw 3 Gray Squirrels - one juvenile & a pair chased near a chickaree cache. It seems that an adult & an lectating juvenile have disappeared from the study area. There is an adult & in their area. I counted 3 juveniles in one family in the evening, but didn't see them come to the nest at midday. Sky clear, wind light. Temp. 55°F at 0620, 73°F at 1425, 60°F at 1930.
In the early afternoon I came upon one Gray Squirrel chasing another. They went ~ 4m, then one stopped and the one being chased continued on the ground ~ 15m, then seemed to forage there.
26 Sept. I spent 0618-1310, 1805-1915 in the 2nd study area, counting a family in the morning and evening, seems that another family still had the mother coming to the
