Routs, Dean 2005 Journal Aug. 16 South of Bond Pass, Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Co., CA I went with a Park Service team to look at some caves along Falls Creek in the morning. We went down into one cave (38.16526°N, 119.60158°W [WG584, 10m acc.], 2765m elev.) and I flipped rocks looking for salamanders, but found none. The caves were in a marble roof pendant and the creek flowed through the cave we were in. The habitat in some areas looked decent for salamanders. I left the NPS team and walked west up the ridge south of Bond Pass. I collected some butterflies for Dean & on the east side of the ridge (38.16592°N, 119.60837°W [WG584, 10m acc.], 2862m elev.). I walked upslope to an area with mostly dried up seeps. They were wet at the base and had wet moss and maidenhair ferns, and looked like they may have been great Hydropsicha habitat earlier in the season (38.16594°N, 119.61033°W [WG584, 8m acc.], 2918m elev.). I found a Pseudacris regilla (SMR50) at the seeps, and saw an Elgaria among the rocks that I couldn't catch. I walked south to a stream and followed it upslope, flipping rocks along the way. This habitat also looked good for salamanders but I found none. It might be a good spot to return to at night. I walked to the top of the ridge to a small pond, where I collected a [illegible] tadpole (SMR51). I walked all over the top of the ridge looking for herps, and then headed back to camp around 3:30PM. I collected another P. regilla tadpole in the small lake south of Dorothy Lake where I found the garter snake yesterday (SMR49). I once again explored the seeps just east of our camp that
