Journal 1. Oct 12 Arrived at Saechen Field Station approx. 4:30 pm. Brought Danny Glantz, one of my students in my Bio 1 lab, as a field assistant. The Field Station is surrounded by the Tahoe National Forest. We at first got lost and went down route 11 (a logging road), then stopped and played back a cut of 43's toop calls. No response. Then found the field station. Brought birds 40 and 57 as decoys. No response to playbacks or decoys at the field station, but perhaps late in the day. At the field station, two female vultureeals showed up to do work on small mammals, and later Bruce Johnson, a grad student from UC Davis, showed up. Bruce is doing research on lodgepole pine survivorship. He mentioned that there is a Mike Morrison at UC Berkeley who is in Forestry and studies birds. He also mentioned a Blodgett Field Station which might be a good possibility. I also met Diane [illegible] who is working at Saechen as a helper.
