Aug 23 French Camp, 3100ft, Humboldt Co., Calif.
was
there dense, short growth of salal. Tan oaks
were scattered along the banks. throughout
there were many fallen logs and branches, and
much rock, though mostly solid red rock.
Put all traps along this stream.
Saw 2 wood pewees diving on and attacking
a Steller Jay, continuously giving their song.
Finally succeeded in chasing it away
Aug 24 Same location
Caught a total of 6 Pewompeus in
traps, 4 in the new ones. Threw them
away and continued down the stream. Found
it was joined by another branch and became
a strong flow. There were many rocks, some large,
over which the water flowed. The Douglas
firs were very tall and fairly thick. there were
a few small redwoods and incense cedars.
Tan oaks, maple, Cornus nuttallii, Goughs
were along the banks; shading. Sword
ferns and green grass were along the
water edge. Many fir logs had fallen
across the stream. the slope was
exceedingly steep, with sides of the canyon
moderately so. Found several Dicamptodon
larvae in pools. Found an adult under
a slab of bark next to the stream (sp. act.)
Saw 1 Eucaphus truei tadpole for sure,
