Five lakes, 1.7 mi S., 1.4 mi W. Squaw Valley,
7500 ft., Placer Co., Calif.
This picture shows the channel between
the westernmost and the adjacent lake of the
Five Lakes. The picture is looking eastward,
from the westernmost lake at the north side
of the channel. The channel is about 8 feet
wide, 2 feet deep, and quite calm. A number
of Rana muscosa were seen by the logs
which form a bridge over the channel. Aschaga
interrupta and
Aschna umbrosa flew along the waters edge in fair numbers,
and Damsel flies were numerous along the shore.
The area surrounding the lakes is quite forested,
although the edge of the lake has been cleared. Lepidoptera
Butterflies were very scarce here.
