17 June Parkwood Meadow, 6 mi. east of Shaver Lake,
Fresno Co., Calif. ~ 6000 ft.
mushrooms and other fungi scattered about.
- In addition to the permanent buildings, there
are: 2 trailers, 1 tent, 1-7 vehicles, and
several people. The F+G people are doing
a deer study here and things sometimes
get pretty active.
- The weather: little or no cloud cover,
wind light (3-5 mph.), temp. about 55°F
in the morning rising to about 70°F in
the early afternoon
- We (CBK and I) had arrived on the night of the
16th, so were here in the morning. He took
off to look for puma tracks and I stayed
around the camp all day looking for clicktrees.
I walked around the area and would watch
squirrels when I saw them, often following
them or their calls for long periods
of time. When they lost me I'd walk
around 'till I found some more. Serious
observation started at 0700 and ended at
around 1800. Much of the afternoon (1200-
1600) was spent trying to get good
photographs so observations during this time
are not very thorough.
