Koford, R. 1977 Journal White Cloud campground, 4300 ft., 11 mi. E Nevada City (by rd.), Nevada Co., Calif. 43 June I once heard a quiet chit from inside a stump - something I had previously heard in a captive squirrel. Twice I saw them give alarm calls in areas that were known to be other squirrels' territories. 4 June I spent 0455-0750, 0905-1310, 1550-1635, 1702-1910 in the 1st study area, going into Nevada City for dry ice in the morning. On the way back, I picked up a road-killed O about 200 m. W of Five Mile House, the bar/restaurant at the place the road to Scotts Flat Reservoir comes into highway 20. I don't remember seeing it on the way W, so it may have been a recent kill. Thinking it was, I preserved the stomach at about 0900, then put the skin up later. I caught a ? in a trap in the afternoon, and he ran out of the trap into the net bag, died a few sec. later. The trap seemed like it had been shaded pretty well - it had been a little over 3 hrs. since I last checked it, though, and it was hot today. When I skinned him, I noticed a foamy area in the area of the nasals. I've seen this before - I think it's from banging into the end of the trap. That could have caused some damage, too. I think it was one of the males that I've been able to recognize, even though he wasn't marked. The stomach of the road-killed squirrel was pretty big, weighed 8 gm. I watched a nest in the morning but the family had evidently moved. I found what I think was the nest that they moved to in the evening, along with a new family's nest. I also saw juveniles of 2 families
