Sciurus griseus
-1-
Sept 1 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co. Calif.
On August 27 I saw 2 of there squirrels feeding
in Chinquapins along the road just N of camp
in what I call Mixed Forest (Journal p. 158)
later the same day (4:30 p.m.) while coming
down Waterman Ridge (Cedar Creek Trail) above
camp, one fine big animal came bounding
across the needle and branch litter under
a stand of Douglas Firs without undergrowth,
leaped onto the trunk of a nearby fir and
and quickly climbed to the top. At then ran
from tree to tree crossing by interlacing
branches. On August 31, one was seen in
the Brush Bottom (Journal p. 165) area just
N of Willow Creek. There this animal was
again working through the trees by
jumping from limb to limb.
- Brannan Mtn 3950 feet, Humboldt Co. Calif.-
1 animal heard for the forest on the N
side of the summit about 300 feet down
slope. A second one was seen in the
Douglas Fir on the divide just E of
Johnson Prairie.
