June 28 Side canyon of Convict Creek at washed-out bridge,
Chys National Forest, Mono Co., CA (cont.)
cl went back to the site at 9PM once it was dark. cl caught five more salamanders, mostly in a spot at the end of the habitat cl checked that has cracks
in the limestone canyon wall with water dripping out.
cl couldn't get 3 sluffs cl found here since they escaped into the cracks. cl also couldn't catch one adult at a spot downstream since it crawled under a large rock. cl got mouth swabs and photos for the 5 additional salamanders. cl then let all of the salamanders go that cl had caught.
