Koford, R. 1977 Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd.), Nevada Co., Calif. 7 May I spent 0830 - 1030 in the 1st study area, tracking in the newly fallen snow and taking data on clin. locations of squirrels. By 0930 it was clear and sunny, 33°F. The trees were already dripping. By ~1000 it was cloudy and the dripping made it hard to work, so I left. 24 May I spent 1521 - 1915 in the 1st study area, again 1940 - 2000. I saw a small juvenile. Some Rocky Fir have her needles - some still have only buds. Purple stalks are on the Ponderosa Pines. The sky was partly cloudy, clear by 1800. Temp. 46°F at 2000. After I left on 7 May, it apparently snowed on and off for about 4 days, according to weather reports. From then until 23 May, it apparently rained on and off - rained here on 22 May, 23 May according to the guys at the station. The ground was wet. 25 May I spent 0820 - 1215, 1305 - 1940 in the 1st study area. Twice I saw females foraging close to each other on the ground. I saw juveniles from at least 2, probably 3, families, plus another near the trailer. Sq. E seems to be lectating. The sky was 80-100% cloudy all day. It got very windy (>25mph) at midday, calmer in the late afternoon. Temp. 45°F at 0820, 60° at 1300, 50°F at 1945 - the sun was still on the treetops then. 27 May Yesterday was overcast and it rained lightly much of the day - I didn't go into the study area. Today, I spent 0845-1235, 1400-1945 in the 1st study area. I think I saw 2 or chers - one involving tail-waving. The Ponderosa Pines are putting out "candles." Wind to ~NEgl. Sky ~30% clouds to late A.N., then clear. Temp. 64°F at 1400, 53°F at 1950.
