Points, Sean 2005 Journal July 8 GO Lake Basin, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno Co., CA (cont.) ... It is a waterfall east of Mt. Clarence King. We got there after dark (~9:15PM) and searched along the bottom of the falls and seeps. We quickly found six adult salamanders and one juvenile, but couldn't catch one adult in a device. I swabbed all these salamanders with the label "Sixty Lake (2) [SL(2)]" (36.82714°N, 118.43602°W [WGS84, 11m acc.], 3432 m elev.). We then climbed up the waterfall, found two more adults along the falls, and then climbed to the top where there was extensive seepage along the stream below a large snowfield. We found five more salamanders in the seeps near the top of the falls; three were out and two were under rocks. I got mouth swabs from all these salamanders. We also found two more adults in cracks that we weren't able to catch. We stopped searching at 12:30AM, having covered most of the habitat. Nate said he had seen over 50 salamanders here before. The habitat was bare granite without any vegetation on an eastern exposure. The night was fairly cold, 6°C at the falls. I didn't get any photos of the salamanders I swabbed.
