R.M.Zink 1979 Journal Mono Lake vicinity, Mono Co. Calif. 13 July We then drove to Mono Lake, stopped & asked Dave Winkler where likely Fox Sp. locations could be. He suggested above Grant +/- Walker Lakes. We drove the Grant rd. & it's too developed. There are some patches of possible Fox Sp. brush above lake, but steep & basically unsuited. Another old locality is "Parker Cr., 7500 ft" - but Today, there's no suitable habitat that's not in "Wilderness Area" + :: no shooting.
