Pinto, Jean 2006 Journal May 25 Pine Canyon and Sawmill Canyon, dnyrs NF, clgyr G., CA (cnt.) ...cl collected both (SMR 95+96) since all the tissue from her juvenile was ground for allergene work. cl found another salamander in a mossy area next to the stream under a rock, but it fell into water below some tree roots and escaped. cl found a fourth juvenile in a mossy seep area at the base of the canyon wall; and took both dorsal and ventral swabs (for hybrid testing). (SmC1 - Sawmill Canyon 1). There were several other small seep areas, but none had rocks to turn. cl searched up the stream a bit more but found nothing; altogether, cl searched from 4-5PM. This canyon has the most shaded areas, mossy spots and leaf litter of any cl have seen yet, and appears to have a lot of suitable reparation habitat for these salamanders. cl walked back to my car and drove to Pine Creek to camp. The day was clear and hot, with a high of around 95F. May 27 Pine Creek, Shanna Canyon and Sparkle Canyon, dnyrs NF, clgyr G., CA cl woke up and hiked up the side canyon of Pine Creek where my data logger is (site PC(1)). The lower part of the canyon was filled with snow; up to about where my logger is. Lots of debris and sand indicated that the canyon had flooded, and the area around my logger had lots of dried mud and dead plants. The logger itself was still attached to the pole and apparently functioning, but the pole had bent in the middle at a 45° angle. cl searched the creek for about 50m above the data logger, flipping rocks near the stream, and found 3 adult H. platycephalus.
