J McPherson 1948 Douglas Squirrel. 11 Sept. spruce while still with in fifteen feet from the top. The leap was about 2 feet. He then cleaned the cones from that spruce top. In all, he must have thrown down about 60 cones. He then descended and began gathering them. He would scurry around the base of those two trees in slashes of about one foot length. On finding a cone he would run with it in his mouth to a stump of a 2 1/2 ft diam tree and carry it down one of the holes at the base of the stump. The stump stood about 100 [illegible] feet from the two trees he had harvested cones. 1:50 He was still gathering cones. During the time that I watched him it did not charge or trail.
