Itinerary Palmer 1935 July 11 cont'd. E.Fk. Illinois R., 1900ft., (cont'd.) Tu with Garry Oak predominating and a few scattered large Yellow Pines. The streams (E.Fk. Illinois R. and Dunn Cr.) are about 20-25 ft. across, rather shallow and fairly slow flowing with bottoms covered with large boulders. The banks are overhung with Western Azalea, Willow, Alder, Vine Maple (Acer circinatum), Acer macrophyllum, Madrone, Yew and Corylus rostrata. The N facing slopes have a marked difference in vegetation. A thick forest of large Douglas Fir with scattered large Yellow Pines and a few large Sugar Pines covers the hillsides. An understory of Yew, Tan Oak, and Mountain Dogwood. The ground surface is covered by low shrubs - Berberis aquifolium, Chinapila umbellata and Vaccinium ovatum? A heavy covering of moss hides all rocks, sticks and most of the ground. This morning set 2 mole traps in the garden. Then went with Johnson to the S side of the creek where he had seen Pheacomps nests in the Douglas Fir. All the nests we could reach by climbing were unoccupied. Saved a nest and fees from another nest.
