"Long Gulch" SE of Baker Ranch, Tuolumne Co, CA (catt)
Feb.19 on both sides of the creek running down the
middle (37.92765N, 120.24586W) (WGS84, 14macc), 645m.
The southern exposure was fairly dry but we
flipped a lot of rocks looking for H. brunnus.
It looked like redoubtable habitat if a little dry. The
northern exposure looked great - limestone covered
with moss among oak and buckeye, but there
weren't many rocks to turn. cl searched on the
north-facing slope while the other three worked
the area closer to the creek. We also brought
Raymond, the ranch owner's son, who found six
newts. We found 2 Eurycees gilbertii skinks but
no H. brunnus. The spot deserves another look,
especially during a rainy period. The weather
was cloudy at first and then it rained fairly
heavily as we were leaving. clt might have been
a good night for salamanders but we had to get back.
