Koford, R. 1976 Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Natchez City (by rd), Nevada Co., Calif. 10 Oct. I spent 0845-1303, 1418-1903 in the 2nd study area, seeing 2 Gray Squirrels, 2 deer hunters. I spent much of my time in the area of the rescued squirrel, part of which has been claimed by a neighboring squirrel. The rescued squirrel gives a quiet chirring sound from her box once in a while. I watched a nest oak in the morning, but I may not have gotten there early eough to see whether th & is still sleepy with the juveniles. I watched a couple juveniles go into their next tree in the evening. I caught 2 juveniles, but one escaped before I could mark it. The 15 traps were set from 0845-0940, closed at 1650-1705. I moved them all out of the area of the rescued squirrel, trying to catch the unmarked 3/4 grown juvenile and the half-grown juveniles. I counted fresh frottle holes on 4 sample plots, seeing several mephroon, collecting 2 and giving one to th &. A median sized Sugar Pine outside the study area had 17 open cones, 11 split open by White-headed Woodpeckers, and no cones underneath. The sky was 20-80% cloud, for most of the morning, clear in the afternoon. Wind to ~15mph Temp. Sk:F at 0640, 72°F at 1410, 60°F at 1930. 11 Oct. I spent 0635-1325, 1410-1850 in the 2nd study area. I opened th traps at 0845-0905, picked them up at 1650- 1715, catching one squirrel. I saw one chase, and I think another occurred. I saw one Gray Squirrel, hence 2.
