Rovits, Sean 2006 Journal July 5 Dirty Lake Basin, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno Co. and Charlie Canyon, Inyo Co. CA In the morning, I walked to my data logger on the way to Hardiner Basin. I offloaded and pulled out the logger at 0932. I briefly searched for salamanders in the surrounding seeps, but didn't find any. It looked like Sean and Nance had flipped most of the rocks the previous evening. I hiked out over Shawn and Kearsing Passes back to Onion Valley. It was cloudy on the hike but didn't rain. I drove from Onion Valley to Charlie Canyon and searched the habitat for ~20 min. I found 1 adult and one subadult N. platycephalus under rocks below the overhang. I then found 2 juveniles beneath a log next to the stream and a subadult under a rock next to the stream on the other side. Finally, I found another subadult under a lava rock outside the overhang (didn't swab this one). I took the following swab samples: Swab # Age class/sex Photo Kind ChC11 subadult 1030075 B,V ChC12 subadult 1030076 ↓ ChC13 adult ♀ 1030077 I offloaded and pulled out my data logger at 1936. The evening was warmer and cloudy.
