Kerford, B. 1926 Journal White Chalk campground, 4700 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd), Nevada Co., Calth. 11 Oct. I watched a nest in the morning, confirming that there is not living with the juveniles. I watched another nest at midday, saw no juveniles. I made a cock catalogue; I found a 100 small nestboxes in one area - 52 in diameter, found several more in the study area. Sky clean, wind up to -15mph. Temp. 52°F at 0630, 73°F at 1410, 65°F at 1915. I saw geese going S. 12 Oct. 0630 I checked nothing the tall stump 31-700'-31. From 0655 to 0658, 5 small juveniles came out of the hole. Over the next few min., one crossed the oak 35-197'-51, two went onto the oak and I lost them, and the stayed near the stump. At 0209 one of these went -150'N on the ground. 24 Oct. I arrived last night, parked in the upper half of the campground. The lower half is still blocked off. It hasn't rained in the Bay Area in the last couple weeks, and presumably hasn't here. I spent 0755-1330, 1605-1832 in the 1st study area, setting 15 traps from 0915-1015, chased then from 1630-1640, catching one adult, 3 juveniles, one Eutamias quadriviridatus), one Beechey Ground Squirrel. I saw one Gray Squirrel being chased by a chickaree, heard another. I heard a chickaree close. I got a good count of a family, 2 of which I had marked today. The sky is 20-80% cloudy, wind to -15mph. Temp. 50°F at 0750, 60°F at 1400, 1605 52°F at 1830. I saw no musteloids. The oaks continue to lose their leaves. All Ponderosa Pine cones are open.
