Birds and other vertebrates and also with a view to deciding whether or not a re-visit with hunting permit would be worthwhile.
The forest from 3200 ft. To approximately 4500 feet was dominated by a mixed association of Black oak, Douglas fir, yellow pine, and madrono, and golden oak. Ceonothus (integerrimus) and shrubby golden oaks were scattered over the more open areas between trees. At least one other fairly prominent species - a small tree or shrub with a laurel like leaf - yet remains to be determined (Cestrous chrysophylla.) The ground flora was dominated by grasses, patches of Mahela mat (Ceonothus prostratus), lupine; and a number of other species yet to be determined.
At 4500 feet, the black oak reached it upper altitudinal level. Yellow pine continued to 5000 and became absent at 5100 ft. Incense cedar appeared at 5000, white fir at 4900. Mountain elderberry was noted at 5400 ft. Red fir was present on top from 6000 to 6200. On the north side this species probably continues down to 5900 or possibly 5800 feet.
On the south and southeast sides of the
