Near a spring saw a blue grouse. Parts of the slopes over there seem more heavily forested, though the ridges are again brush. Some places the unidentified manzanita forms thick growth to the exclusion of other things. In others Ceanothus cordulatus does the same. Where there are scattered pines and firs, the scrub-garry oak often becomes quite dense. Full sized oaks are not numerous. Added 25 traps to make a total of 75, putting part in white fir, cedar and yellow pine and thence over the ridge in Ceanothus cordulatus. Moved about half of the others through more Ceanothus and a dense patch of 10 ft. Garry oak with a thick litter of dead leaves. There are a few Sceloporus occidentalis in the area, far outnumbered by the grasshoppers. They are frequently in mixed brush and trees. Have seen two rush up trees to escape.
