Aug Stoner 1947 Journal 20. Sept 3. 3 mi E, 2mi N, McCleney Mt., 1900 ft. San Luis Obispo Co., California. One place across the canyon from the trail a small grove of pines but nowhere an extensive stand of pine. Scattered throughout were the burned stumps of pines and a good crop of young pines about 6 years old. Evidently dating from the winter after the 1941 fire. There were also a few junipers in the scattered pines. Near the top the chaparral was more varied in character - 3 sp. of ceanothus, scrub oak, manzanita, poison oak, yucca and several shrubs I couldn't recognize. About 9 am. I started a buck which Mr. Hillers succeeded in shooting. We were at this time just east of the main peak into saddle.

The spring is surrounded by willows & thick brush but originally was in a small grove of Coulter Pines now burned. Many birds were visiting the spring. Bluebirds, green-backed goldfinches, & Wrentits recognizatively, a spotted racer was seen up in a bush trying to catch birds. Dr. Hillers collected it. We started back for camp about 12:30 pm. I arrived at 2:30. Saw no cougars on the mountain but did see golden eagles, ravens, Red-tail & Sparrow Hawks. In camp bathed, relaxed & skinned a couple of birds that Dr. Hillers collected en route. Tried to collect a bat in the evening. Sept 4. After breakfast headed for North fork of the canyon where we heard Mt. Zuni yesterday. Found two places where there were several pools of water in the
