Murray 1949 Eutamias amoenus Sept 6 Red Mt., 5300ft., 14 mi S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif. Caught 1♂ in a mouse trap set in Ceanothus cordulatus at the edge of Jeffrey pine, white fir and incense cedar. They are the commonest of 3 species here – townsendii and sonorae the others. Sept 7 Same location Had 1♂, again in a mouse trap close to the other one. Have watched several and found them generally in very open fir, pine and cedar or on brushy slopes with a few trees scattered through. There are likely to be fallen logs, stumps or rock outcrops about which they run. In this regard they are somewhat intermediate between sonorae which is always in the brush, and townsendii which is most often in denser conifers. Amoenus appears beside both of those species in their habitats, but viewed overall seems to have a distinctive position in preferring a broken area with both trees and brush; Sept 8 Same location 1♂ was in a mouse trap in Ceanothus cordulatus, not far from a patch of oak woodland. Sept 9 Same location In morning found 2♀ in adjoining traps. They were again in Ceanothus cordulatus, with several pine trees about 30 ft. away. Both were still alive and had evidently been caught earlier
