Koford, Rolf F. 1974 Journal 21 Sept. White Cloud campground, 11 miles east of Nevada City, Nevada Co., Calif. ~4300 ft. I watched squirrels from 0730 until 1910, with a half hour break for lunch. Most of the sugar pine cones are open now, and the Steller's Jays are actively knocking out seeds. About 2/3 of the Ponderosa pine cones are also open. Three squirrels were caught and 3 more recaptured, with raw peanuts, walnuts, and half-eaten sugar pine cones as bait. - Wind light, sky clear - Temp. from low 60's to low 80's (°F) 22 Sept. White Cloud campground, 11 miles east of Nevada City, Nevada Co., Calif. ~4300' I watched squirrels from 0730 until 1910 with a half hour break for lunch. I spent most of my time in an area which had a resident squirrel which was very secretive, trying to find out if it was marked [illegible] recapture. Sky clear, wind light, temp. from low 60's to low 80's (°F) 23 Sept. White Cloud campground, 11 miles east of Nevada City, Nevada Co., Calif. ~4300: After checking the traps in the morning (1 recapture) I secured the doors open and left the campground area to collect some females for reproductive information. I spent the morning a few miles west, then got some dry ice, and spent the afternoon a few miles west along Hwy 20. I heard and saw very few squirrels, and they were either juveniles, males, or out of range. I returned to the campground at 1800 and reset the traps. Though I looked for squirrels around the campground, I saw none. - Sky clear, wind light, temp. from low 60's to low 80's (°F)
