Luis, Sean 2005 Journal Emigrant Lakes to Dorothy Lake, Emigrant Wilderness and Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Co., CA Aug. 21 I hiked back from Emigrant Meadow to Drizzly Meadow, stopping at the pond I visited yesterday, roughly 0.75 km southwest of Emigrant Pass and just south of the trail to Drizzly Meadow, to collect two Bufo tadpoles (SMR 70+71) (38.19543°N, 119.63842°W [WGS84, 6m acc.], 2944m elev.). I didn't collect any Rana tadpoles but saw some. I took the higher elevation trail from Drizzly Meadow over Bond Pass and passed through open glassy pine forest that looked like good lizard habitat, but saw none. I spent the afternoon propping the toads; SMR 69 died on the trip back and was somewhat dried up. After finishing, I walked with [illegible] Kim up to the unnamed lake above Dorothy Lake to the SE. At the east end of the lake we saw a small pond with I. regilla tadpoles (38.16934°N, 119.58521°W [WGS84, 5m acc.], 2887m elev.), but I didn't have anything to collect one in. We walked up the slope to the southeast, near Forsyth Peaks, to look at some seeps (38.16661°N, 119.58513°W [WGS84 7m acc.], 2969m elev.). There were some vegetated seeps and a steady trickle of water over granite that looked good for salamanders, but there weren't many rocks to flip and we only searched for about 10 min. The best habitat, flat rocks lying on the granite in front of services, was dry; it seems like this would be an excellent site for salamanders earlier in the year. There were some small seeps to the west that we didn't check. The day was warm and clear, with clouds in the late afternoon.
