Sciurus douglasii
-1-
Aug 20 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - 1 ? shot
while scolding in the mixed Douglas Fir
Tan Oak forest on the ridge N of Camp.
Sept 1 1 mi. W Brannan Mtn., 3300 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
1 ♀ collected along [illegible] the dry bed at the
head of the east branch of Three Creek just
below a small pool. This animal was
busily digging in leaf litter under
a group of Tan Oaks and Madrone.
Sept 4 Brannan Mtn., 3700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. -
1 ♂ collected from a dead lower limb
on a large Jeffrey Pine on the crest of
a ridge. This animal was chattering
pretty steadily, had decent tester,
and a white substance (semen?) was
oozing from its penis after being shot.
Sept 6 Red Mtn., 14 mi S Hayfork, 5300 ft., Trinity Co.
1 ♀ collected from a dead snag in the
stream bottom at camp. A few moments
before, a chickaree, supposedly the same
one, was seen a few feet away carrying
the remains of a Jeffrey Pine cone in its
mouth. This animal had quite a bit
of pitch around its mouth, and on its
fore legs.
