Creator Transcript
  • Citellus columbianus [underlined] Southesk Lake. July 17/44. [1944] Groundsquirrels are found around Columbia Ice Fields, Nigel Pass, Poboktan Pass, Brazeau Lake, + all over the northern portion of the Park but there is no sign of them on the Cairn or on the Southesk + its tributary valleys In these places Callospermophilus [underlined] + Marmota are abundant. Can it be that there is a discontinuity of suitable habitat. Certainly there is no suitable lowland habitat connecting these valleys with the Brazeau River + the divides are high with none known to me less than 8800-9000 ft [feet] + thus a good 800 ft [feet] above the limits of vegetation. No Citellus [underlined] down the Rocky - the first seen were on Medicine Lake. Field B.C. Aug. [August] 2, 1944 Extremely populous colonies all along Sherbrooke Creek. One small colony at Lake O'Hara.
