Sulloway 1949 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.
