Palmer 1936 June 18 cold. January rather small - 10-25 ft. high but there are a few larger trees 30+ ft. high, most of the latter somewhat twisted and wind bent. Hunted around the summit from 4:30 - 7:00 P.M. and shot the following birds: 1 Spotted Towhee, in mixed small Coulter Pines and brush; 2 Bewick Wrens, in mixed Coulter Pines and brush; 1 Western Grackle, in manzanita and sycamore; 1 Juncos in Coulter Pines; 1 Black-chinned Sparrow in mixed chaparral and Coulter Pines. Also saw several others of the above species and: Green-backed Goldfinch, Black- throated Gray Warbler, Linnet (?), Plain Titmouse in the Coulter Pines. Bell Sparrow and Yellow-tit in the chaparral; White-throated Swift and Mourning Dove flying over. Saw no gopher or mole workings at the summit but saw mole workings at about 4900 ft. on the E side of the Mtn. On the way back to camp, shot a Brush rabbit on the rocky ridge in sparse, low chaparral. On the way up the mountain we saw and pursued a Phrynosoma at about the 5000 ft. level on rocky soil in sparse chaparral, but it got away.
