inter) Dean 2004 Journal June 19 Bishop Pass to Pottuck Pass, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno Co., CA I started my trip today at Bishop Pass. I saw some decent to good Hydromantes habitat on the way to Thunderbolt Pass (37°06'24.9"N, 118°32'21.7"W, 3625m). I looked for salamanders for 30 min but didn't find any. After crossing Thunderbolt Pass the habitat looked better, and I started looking again about halfway to Pottuck Pass. I camped in an area with lots of great-looking salamander habitat (37°04'58.0"N, 118°30'33.0"W, 3520m). I spent 2½ hours (8:30-11PM) looking for salamanders that were out feeding but found none. MVZ record indicates there is a population here. The weather today was rather cool and sunny in the morning, and partly cloudy and windy in the afternoon. June 20 Pottuck Pass to Palisade Lakes, Kings Canyon NP, Fresno Co., CA I looked on the north side of Pottuck Pass for salamanders for another 30 min in the morning but found none. I crossed the pass and saw lots of good seep habitat but didn't have time to check most of it. I flipped rocks looking for salamanders as I crossed the basin, climbed the saddle and descended to the Palisade Lakes. I looked extensively along a creek with lots of water flowing over granite (37°03'37.3"N, 118°29'15.6"W, 3236m) but found no salamanders. I found one Styletta regilla there. I found a juvenile and an adult salamander in seep habitat on the north side of the northern Palisade Lake at night. The weather today was sunny in the morning and cloudy later on, with a high of about 70°F.
