Koford, R. 1926 Journal white cloud campground, 4200 ft., 11 mi E Nevada City (by rd), Nevada Co, Calif. 4 Oct. I spent 0620-1325 in the 1st study area. The sky was clear, wind light. Temp. 48° F at 0625; in the low 60's in the early afternoon when I left. I saw geese (goose?) going S. 8 Oct. I spent 1500-1850 in the 2nd study area, putting out, but not setting, 15 traps in the area of the & living in the area of T9, S8, T7, which I intend to remove so I can observe the effect on the neighboring squirrels. I heard the & clin. The sky was clear, but at sunset there were clouds over the central valley. Wind light. Temp. 81° F at 1500, 66° F at 1915. 9 Oct. I spent 0710-1025, 1100-1325, 1445-1900 in the 2nd study area. I opened the 15 traps from 0735-0800, closed them from 1655-1755, catching the & I wanted, then moving 4 traps to the area of n9, then catching a & in the previous &'s area. It is possible that the 2nd & killed in the 1st &'s former territory, but I didn't see her. At any rate, no squirrel moved into the 1st &'s area. I saw a couple juveniles go into their hole, but no & came. Twice, on the same tour, I saw a half-grown juvenile chase another and both chirred. Sky clear except for a layer of clouds low in the east at sunset. Wind generally light, but occasionally up to ~15 mph. Temp 57° F at 0700, 28° F at 1445, 64° F at 1930. The ground is dry except for parts of the hard-packed road. Many oak leaves are dropping, and fir scales and seeds fall occasionally.
