Sciurus douglasii
July 6 Brooks Meadow, 4300 ft., 9 mi. ENE Mt. Hood, Hood R. Co., Oregon
These squirrels and field + bear are abundant in the forest stand here. I saw several this morning between 6 and 7 A.M., collecting one in a Fir tree that was about 30 feet above the ground. These forms remain in the thicker part of the timber where they can be heard calling with a rolling loud bark. I have very infrequently seen them along the edge of the meadow or along the roads which make a break thru the timber.
