nits, Sean 2005 Journal Emergent Meadow Lake and Emergent Pass, Emigrant Wilderness, [Strawberry] National Forest, Tuolumne Co, CA (cont) Aug. 20 ... At Brown Bear Pass, I noticed that the rock changes from granite to something red and more crumbly, like the rock at Sonora Pass. This transition line goes E-W through the pass and continues on either side, with no large granite outcrops visible to the north. The area of granite to the SW of Brown Bear Pass looked like potential Hydrobates habitat, although I couldn't see many seeps. At [illegible], I hiked back up to the Hydrobates site. I started searching at the top of the habitat at 9PM and finished at 12 AM. I saw 13 salamanders large enough to swats, plus two tiny juveniles. This makes at least 20 individuals clive seen in my two trips, assuming two of the juveniles were found both times. I got mouth swats samples and photos of all 13 salamanders. All of them were cuty, and I didn't flip any rocks while searching. I searched nearly all the seep areas on the eastern-facing slope. Some of the salamanders were in rather dry areas, not just in the wet seeps. I collected a few more Natrix as well. The night was cool and clear, about 5°C. swats* Age class Sex # Age class Sex # Age class Sex salamanders { SMR56 subadult EM6 adult M EM11 adult M no swats } SMR57 subadult EM7 adult M EM12 subadult EM13 adult M EM8 adult F EM13 subadult EM14 juvenile EM9 subadult EM14 subadult EM15 adult F EM10 subadult.
