Citllus
July 12 Grouse Meadow on Blue Ridge.
Tulare Co, California
This specimen was
shot by Leighton Hicks
and brought to me for
identification. It is a
complete albino with no
dark markings. The
discoloration of the stomach
is due to intestinal secretion
staining and decomposing
the hide. There was
a wild oat grain
found in the cheek
pouches (said).
ALBINO SQUIRREL IS
TAKEN IN MOUNTAINS
An albino squirrel, white with pink
eyes, was brought to the Recorder
office Thursday by Leighton Hicks,
who captured the squirrel in the
bushes near his home in Grouse Val-
ley, high up in the mountains. It is
believed that an albino squirrel is
rarity among the species.
