Shaman Canyon and Pine Creek, Mono Co. and Lake
Meadows, Mammoth Lakes Basin, Mono Co., CA
July 6 I drove to Shaman Canyon in the morning. I found my
data logger sort-side down in the stream; it was apparently
still working and I offloaded it at 0928 and took it
with me. I searched the area around my data logger
from about 0920-0940 and found a single juvenile
I. platycephalus under the same rock as last time when I
collected SMR35. I left it alone since this population seems very
small. After lunch, I drove to Pine Creek and walked up
the side canyon I called Pine Creek (2)-the one closer to 395.
I found 2 salamanders while searching ~50m of habitat from
1400-1440, including ~15 min of sunbathing. Both were under
rocks next to the stream among nettles. I then walked up
the other side canyon of Pine Creek, where my logger is, and found
2 adult salamanders under rocks near the logger at 1530. I
took the following swats samples from both canyons:
Swatrs # Age/sex Photo Kind

PC(2)12 adult ♂ 1030081 B
PC(2)13 subadult 1030082 B
PC(1)14 adult ♂ 1030083 B
PC(1)15 adult ♀ 1030084 B
I offloaded and pulled out my data logger at 1601.
