W.B. Davis 1935 5 mi. SE Murphy, Cuyhee Co., Idaho, May 25, Mounds appear to me to be much larger than those made by T. bottae. The burrows were large, about the size of my forearm, and were about 14 inches on the average below the surface of the ground. Citellus leucodow appears to me to be much like Citellus idahoensis but they are much more shy in their habits and are colonial. They construct huge mounds with many burrow entrances and it appears that more than one squirrel occupies each mound area. Twining believes that each represents a single burrow system and that when more than one squirrel is present, it represents a family affair. Aldrich said he saw three apparently adult squirrels at one mound. I am inclined to believe as does Twining. These mounds average about four feet across and appear to be honey-combed with surface burrows. They are very common in this area but most of them are old.
