Points, Year 2005 Journal Jully Lake, west of Mistle Pass, John Muir Wilderness, Sierra National Forest, Fresno Co., CA July 21 Yesterday I hiked out over Mtley Pass. I saw a dark shrew at White Bear Lake but didn't collect it. Today I hiked to Jully Lake, NW of Red and White Lake, from the Mistle Pass trailhead. There was a thunderstorm with hail in the afternoon as I crossed the pass. I camped near the creek below the pass on the west side. I went to check out a Hydromantes report from Dale Mitchell, "1 map mile NW of Red and White Lake." I walked to the general area and found some great looking soap habitat about 150 m ENE of Jully Lake on a steep rocky slope/cliff with a southern exposure. There was a lot of water in the soaps and no vegetation aside from moss, a few flowers and some small willows. The rock was granite (I think), but much more fine-grained than usual and without large quartz crystals. It was gray in color. I found a juvenile Hydromantes at about 9 PM. Over the next 21/2 hours I found 5 adults, all males, one under a rock and the rest out foraging, and 2 more juveniles under rocks. I got mouth swabs and photos of 3 of the adults and a ventral swab from one juvenile. I didn't think to do this for the other juveniles before I released them. I collected the first two adults (SMR 37 and 38) (37.48736°N, 118.87973°W [WGS84, 8m acc.], 3048m elev.) as well as 2 hootles for Dean B. The night was clear and about 7°C at 12AM.
