Citellos beeheyi
I was beeleyi, as regards dorsal coloration.
Saw many (+10), shot three (1 juv.) at
Nmi. & SE Crockett. All of these were beeleyi.
They were seen intermittently all this
area traveled yesterday - any where
there were exposed, warm slopes, grass-
not too high; both in dry, hard soil
and sandy soil (near Canada de los
Poblamos and Briones Valley - on Marsh Cr.
Rd.) and where there was not a heavy
growth of any vegetation (trees, shrubs or
grass).
- dougleen -
On north side found a ground
squirrel dead on road; hit by car - this
about 3 mi. E Fairfield. Noted none on
the island (Sherman). Probably they
don't range quite to the marshes on the
north side of the bay. West field margins
(or rolling hills) evidently could support
them.
July 7-12, 1938
A resident of region near Lunitas Cr.,
San Mateo Co., said there were a few of this
species in the hills back (+ 1 1/2 mi.) from the
ocean. Saw none in Santa Cruz mountains.
Seen to summit of Mt. Diablo Hamilton;
wherever not brushy but grassland.
