Feb. 12 Smuggler's Cave, extreme SW, Imperial Co., Calif
Area: drove from In-Yo-Eah County park SE into mountains
on rocky, steep dirt road, driving perhaps 3-4 miles; then we
walked another 2-3 miles north towards Myer Valley. The
area is beautiful scenery with the entire landscape covered by
picturesque rounded boulders, steep cliffs and canyons. The higher
parts of the hills have occasional scattered pinyons and a few small
junipers; in between boulders are scattered evergreen shrubs, including
manzanita
and
gifts.
We found one creek which had apparently permanently
flowing water, since there were several tall deciduous trees (including
at least
two cottonwoods) and a small, dense willow thicket. Most permanent
residents of California chaparral were present except Wrenfrit (bushes
perhaps too scattered) and Plain Titmouse (absence unexplainable);
Rufous-sided Towhee
Ed Wessman
most of the chaparral species were first records for Imperial Co.
