Habitat area - small stream, flowing
portion not over 3' wide, forking to 6' wide,
seldom more than 6" deep. Water temperature
at 9:15 A.M. 14.8 °C. Trees along the bank
are as Q. wislizenii, Q. douglasii, Q. lobata
(uncommon), Sambucus, Populus fremontii,
Alnus incana. For the most part the stream
banks are grassy to the water edge, very
little in the way of sandy banks.
Although the stream gradient is not steep,
there are many large, angular granite rocks
(as to 3' in diameter) in the bed. Stream
transport is obviously not responsible -
sites washed out or place so called downhill.
'Sycamore and willow present a few hundred
yards downstream from where the first frog and
three insects were taken.'
