- Mammals - Lac la Hache area Red squirrel [underlined] - very abundant in all wooded areas. On occasion three could be seen at one time and several others heard. "Always numerous" G. Forbes. Skins paid 31 [cent symbol] a piece - 25 to 30 a day on the average Flying squirrel [underlined] - common but seldom seen. A nest was found in a Douglas fir stub. The dead tree was about 14" [inches] in diam [diameter] at ground level and about 20' [feet] high. Hole was about 12' [feet] up. When stub was struck with gun butt a squirrel put its head out then withdrew it + refused to shot itself no matter how hard the tree was pounded. Several days later (July 3/42 [1942]) the stub was cut down. The squirrel did not appear until the tree hit the ground when the female leaped from the hole as the tree bounced, scrambled along the ground and climbed a nearby tree in which it was shot. While attempting to dislodge the dead female, a young one left the nest + was seen and caught some yards away. The nest was about 5"[inches] in diam [diameter] and about 10" [inches] deep; the bottom was filled with dry shredded bark, abounding in fleas. "Caught in traps, weasel + squirrel" G.F. [Forbes]
