Rivets, Dean 2005 Journal Emigrant Meadow Lake and Emigrant Pass, Emigrant Wilderness, Stanislaus National Forest, Tuolumne Co., CA Aug. 20 I packed my gear, left camp and hiked over Bond Pass this morning. I collected 2 Parmassius on the west side of the pass for Dean D. [47] (38.17801°N, 119.61369°W [WGS 84, 5m acc.], 2852m elev.). I hiked up to Striggly Meadow and walked towards Emigrant Pass, looking for herps in the numerous small ponds and meadow. Most ponds had Leuraeria regilla tadpoles, but only one had Bufo tadpoles (38.19582°N, 119.62767°W [WGS 84, 6m acc.], 2926m elev.). I collected 20 Celaia butterflies for Dean D. here [48]; they were very abundant, as was the more yellowish Celaia species. I continued along the trail and found a juvenile Yosemite toad (Bufo canorus) about 0.5Km S of Emigrant Pass (SMR66) in grassy dry meadow habitat. I hiked southwest to a fairly large pond where I found both L. regilla and Bufo tadpoles - the Bufo tadpoles were very abundant (38.19543°N, 119.63842°W [WGS 84, 6m acc.], 2944m elev.). I will collect these tadpoles tomorrow on my way back to camp. I continued along the trail and found a small Bufo canorus on the trail about 100m east of Emigrant Meadow Lake (SMR67). I I camped on the south side of Emigrant Meadow Lake and walked to Brown Bear Pass. On the way, I found an adult Bufo canorus (SMR68) at the outflow dam on the west side of the lake, and a juvenile Bufo canorus in fairly dry grassy meadow habitat ~750m NW of the outflow dam.
