Cogswell 1949 Eutamiás amoenus 2 Sep. 9 (2 mi. N by W) Red Mtn. 5300ft, 14th mi. S Hayford, Trinity G, Cage (11:00 a.m.) As I sat writing notes after collecting the Eutamiás sonomae one of this species came up along the open forest floor investigating Jeffrey Pine cones on the needle litter. It finally saw me and ran up on a small log & came to abrupt attention with tail stiffened slightly below the horizontal and the left forefoot (closest to me) held thus: after 2 or 3 min- log surface -> ft. forefoot utes of this position, the animal turned around & assumed a mirror image position, viewing me with the right eye, with right forefoot raised. It was silent all this time, although others of this species were calling a short distance away. after 5-10 minutes a Eutamiás sonomae came & chased it off the log [see that species account]. observation interrupted by my shooting a white-headed woodpecker.
