15 Sept. White Cloud campground, 11 miles east of Nevada City, Nevada Co, Calif. ~4300 ft.
the dairy is closed on Sundays. I saw a Western
Gray Squirrel on the way back and managed
to get a good look, unlike previous times I've
tried. I watched squirrels from 1000 until 1500,
recapturing one squirrel and capturing a new one,
then again from 1515 until 1925, catching another squirrel
which escaped before she could be marked completely.
- Sky clear, wind light; temp. about 60°F to 80°F
16 Sept. White Cloud campground, 11 miles east of Nevada City, Nevada Co, Calif. ~4300 ft.
I watched squirrels from 0630 to 0745, then went
into Nevada City for dry ice and groceries. Then I
watched squirrels from 0915 until 1925 with a half
hour break for lunch. There were few campers in the campground.
I juvenile marked.

I watched squirrels from 0643 until 0805, then from 0830
until 1330, when I went into Nevada City for more
dry ice. I watched again from 1530 until 1914. Again,
there were few campers in the campground. No squirrels
marked. Sky clear, wind light; temp. about 60°F to 80°F.
