April 21, 1927
I took my gun and went up in
the Coffee to a high ridge East of
house where I could see what the
country looked like while I was
up there I heard a squirrel in
a old tree bark away but could
not see it so went on down a small
ditch for a ways and set down was
their only a few minutes when on
the side of a large Baleem tree I
saw another one which I shot it
was a female when I went up
to get it another one ran out of
a decayed place in tree where it
had some leaves this was about
ten feet from ground but it hid in
leaves in top of this tree so I could
not see it on my way back through
coffee I shot another one a female that
was suckling young I also saw
another one running on the ground
through coffee but was too far to
shoot at.
There were lots of nests in the
trees so take it these species of
squirrels are quite abundant at this
place,
