Niger Phil 1974 Journal 46 Muddy Hollow, National Seminars, Marin Co., Calif. 9 April After we finished at the Red Barn we came here. Took the turnoff to Laniartau Spri. Follow it up over the ridge, down again to stop. Turnoff & parking area labelled Muddy Hollow. ~10 miles? 2 trails, take the one to the left as you drive in (from where the road is barricaded). Follow ~200m to a message building, ~30'x15', which houses a prong. Wooden bldg, sawn composite roof, tar paper covering the wooden sides. In the past Pollan & I have found bees between the tarpaper & the wall. Lots of dropping today, but the only bees were 10 M. guernaei along the ceiling. Pollan pulled them out with harvestors - they were wedged up between the roof & the ceiling. It was our impression that the reproductive stage of these is a little more advanced than that of the Red Barn animals last year saw. Also fat. The inside of the building was warm in comparison to the Red Barn, but it was lots colder today. Saw many (10-12) deer - either fallow or axi deer anyway, they were white.
