934 Eutamias sequoiainsis
July 18. Quaking Aspen Meadow, 7500 ft.
Tahoe Co. California.
This little animal is
found abundantly in this
area. Up to the present date
(4 days) I have trapped 17 of this
species. The majority of the
specimens were caught in
set traps baited with bacon
and set near the fir trees
near the meadow. Numerous
individuals can be seen
about camp during the warm
part of the day running
about the fallen trees and wood
piles. When disturbed they
merely retreat to a tree
climbing to safety on the
farther side. Yesterday I saw
one individual that was
apparently foraging over
the lower branches of a
fir tree.
July 23 Still catching 3 or 4 specimens
a day from the same sets as
described above.
