R.M. Zink 1979 Journal 5 Warner Mt., Modoc Loop, Calif. 28 July (cont'd) From our vantage point above on W side of Mill Creek, we could see nothing on the W facing side of Eagle Bl. & Fallback that resembled the "sparse streaks at base of rockslide" that Lindehl wrote contatling Fox Sparrows in 1924. It is possible that there are scattered brushy places tha that the birds are in willow s have left, but the aspen conifer perhaps also some such areas. However, there are a # of open places inside, & they are dominated by Salsix or grass & Mule Ears (tous). There is one spot near top (See Note: W Eagle Pt.) that might be brushy. At any rate, it seems as if this meadow changed in so years. The rest of the day, in driving around, we saw more open areas but they contained little or no brush - only grass & mule ears. The botanist for the USFS at Song Sparrow mentioned the Shields C. burn 70 acres replanted 1947 r is presently elderberry thickets. This is a sign or road & some old stumps are visible however the elderberry patch is b of rock - we didn't check it out but it worthwhile perhaps for future, (CT. 142 N, R. 15E, SW1/4 of sec. 36). They also mentioned that ~ 30 6 oz shank nets had been located this year - probably in Catl. portion of Warners. Camped at local f. RMZ 1187.
