Citellus lateralis
Sep. 8 S. Dubakella Mtn, 5700 ft., 12 mi. S Hayford, Trinity
Co, Calif one came up on top of a rock to set
in the midst of a large clump of buckberry oak
(near a few scattered manzanita shrubs) to watch
me as I put the mountain Quail I had just shot
in a core. As I started toward the squirrel it
ran down into the bushes, but a squeak brought
it back up & I collected it. Its cheek
pouches contained about 50 small bulbs, a few
of which were saved.
