Barito, Dean 2005 Journal June 27 Pine Creek, Inyo National Forest, Inyo Co., CA I drove from Lake Lodge over to Pine Creek, and hiked up the same side canyon as I got the swab samples for H. platycephalus from in early June. I put data logger #883623 on the western side of the canyon against the wall, anchored by rocks, in an area where I found several salamanders last time and just below where I collected SMR28 (37.37739°N, 118.68253°W [WGS84; 30m acc.], 2215m elev.), I quickly found 10 adult salamanders and one juvenile in the immediate area in about 5 min, and 5 of the adults were under the same large rock. Hiked out of the canyon, had dinner, and then drove to the next side canyon of Pine Creek to the east, one of Berhan Dinkiani's salamander sites. I followed the dirt road up from the Pine Creek Rd. until it became a trail, which I continued on. I got to a spot next to the stream with lots of willows, nettles and grass and some large rocks on the stream's edge. I found 5 adult and 1 juvenile H. platycephalus here, and another large adult a little upstream. I kept one of the first adults I found (SMR33) (37.38565°N, 118.67677°W [WGS84; 24m acc.], 2307m elev.). I looked up and downstream for another but last found no more salamanders. I got mouth swabs and a photo for each one and then hiked upstream once it became dark. I found one juvenile some distance upstream in a dry area next to a wet, mossy part of
