Sciurus griseus griseus
Dec. 23 4 mi. NE Springville, 2800 ft. Tulare Co., Calif.
Don shot one of the animals
at girl scout camp along the river.
Haveral area - Sierra Nevada Foothills.
Elev-zon - Upper Sonoran.
Habitat - Along the water
COURSE (within a [illegible]) where the
oak trees are large and relatively
close to each other. This is based
on the one specimen and two other
individuals seen. Probably at
higher altitudes they would not
be so dependent on the river
habitat. I doubt if they go above
the oak forests.
July 11 Cold Spring Saddle, Tulare Co., Calif.
One individual shot along road
about 7 miles (by road) from
Fors Meadow.
Haveral area - Sierra Nevada.
Elev-zon - Transition.
Habitat - Prefers the mixed
oak (Q. californica) and yellow
pine forests. Seems to be found along the
ridges in the lower
coniferous forests.
