Eutamias minimus
July 24, 6 mi NE Virginia City, 6000 ft, Storey Co., Nevada
♂ 66 was shot after running across an open space
for about twenty feet from a clump of sage and
dodging in under the low-hanging branches of Pinus
monophylla. The area is covered with sage and
numerous pinions and junipers.
July 27, Middle Cr., 8000 ft, White Ints., Esmeralda Co., Nevada
Our camp was on edge of marsh meadow in a canyon
both sides of which were rocky and covered by sage brush
and Pinus monophylla. The most abundant mammal
in the sage and pinion was E. minimus. One could often
see three or four at one time. Running from one sage brush to
the next. Scattered through the sage were clumps of Ephedra and cholla.
None of the chipmunks came down in the marsh
or in the beds (Betula fontanella, willows), or Populus
trichocarpa along the stream. I shot one, ♂ 77.
