Eutamias townsendi
Aug 26 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Have found them rather common here in Douglas fir and incense cedar forest.
Not timid and answer a squeak very readily
Sept 4 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Just a few hide in the dense maple and Douglas fir slope above camp. Heard but never seen. More common on the Three Creeks Road just below Brennan Mt.
Sept 16 Red Mt., 5300 ft., 14 mi S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif.
Present with 2 other species, sonomae and amoensis. I have found them below the ridge where there is moderately thick Jeffrey pine, white and Douglas fir and incense cedar. Their habitat is invaded slightly by amoensis, which doesn't get into dense forest but uses trees on the edge or where they are slightly scattered and mixed with bush. This afternoon went down the slope along Dubahella Creek and found that not far down townsendi became the only chipmunk. Here there was fairly dense forest, becoming mostly Douglas fir
