Side canyon of Conlict Creek at washed-out bridge,
clings National Forest, Mono Co., CA
drove from Yosemite to Conlict Lake and hiked
up to the side canyon at the washed-out bridge where
the 1st platycephalus site is. I deployed data
logger #883627 on the right side of the side canyon
about 20m up the canyon against the canyon wall
(37.56022°N, 118.87233°W [WGS84, 20macc], 2643 meter).
I put the pole in a rock in the rocks and filled up the
duck. It was in place at 5:10PM. I then collected
13 H. platycephalus in about 15min along the stream under
rocks. All but 3 were juveniles. The area was only about
10m long, and the stream was very high or there may have
been more habitat. The rock was limestone, mostly red
and gray, with some other rock types. There was no
vegetation besides a few leafy forks and some small shrubs,
but the area is basically bare rock. The day was clear,
and about 17°C in the afternoon and 10 °C at night.
I got mouth swabs from all but the 2 smallest juveniles
that I collected, and took 3 photos of each one I swabbed.
