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.
