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.
