Roots, Sean 2005 Journal July 22 Jolly Lake, John Muir Wilderness, Fresno Co., CA and Lake George, Inyo National Forest, Mono Co., CA This morning I walked back to the salamander site near Jolly Lake. In the light, I could see that the area of habitat where I found salamanders was relatively small, less than 50m across. There were a few more seeps to the east, which I checked briefly without success. I placed data logger #873954 in a south- west-facing crevice in the center of the seep habitat, where it should be protected from snow and rain. I put it there at 11:05 AM. I looked briefly for more salamanders but found none. I hiked out over McAlee Pass back to the trailhead. Saw some streams towards the end of the trail that looked like they could be salamander habitat but didn't check. I drove to Lake George and walked to the Hylambantes site on the W side of the lake at about 9 PM. The site was much drier now- just some seepage and dripping water rather than the steady flow of before. Nearly all the snow nearby had melted. I immediately found a subadult and a small juvenile, out in the vegetation and in the seep, respectively. I checked the rest of the habitat but didn't see any more. I walked up above to find the source of the water, but it seems just to seep out of the dirt at the top of the cliff. Checked along the creek briefly but didn't find anything. Set photo of the subadult and released both. The day was warm and slightly cloudy and the night was mild and clear.
