had found 2 E. escholtzii on May 2. After
Bob had taken the first picture, I rolled
over the logs which he had photographed,
and under one of them found an immature
E. escholtzii, lying motionless in the moist
wood debris beneath the log. Gave the specimen
to Bob. Birds noted between Big Pine Camp &
Jackson Lake: - Flammulated Screech Owl, Mour-
ning Dove (mail), Mountain Chickadee, Plain Tit-
mouse, Robin, Western Bluebird, Oregon Junco,
Black-headed Grosbeak, White-headed Wood-
pecker, California Woodpecker, white-breasted
Nuthatch, Western Flycatcher, Ash-throated
Flycatcher, Cassin Vireo, Steller Jay, and Band-
tailed Pigeon. The most common birds in
the area are Mountain Chickadees & California
Woodpeckers. Some of the vegetation noted: -
Q. Kelloggii; Q. chrysolepis, F. lambertiana,
P. ponderosa, A. concolor, Salix sp., Alnus
sp.; Ceanothus sp.; most of the Golden-leaf
oaks were on the south-facing canyon slopes.
We left Big Pine Camp and drove to the
small settlement of Cajon, where we had
lunch. The road (call) to Cajon falls
rather abruptly to from 6000' to 4000', and
only a few miles from Big Pine the country
is parched & desert-like. Within 5 miles of
Big Pine Camp we noted Yucca brevifolia
and yucca whipplei, and the pines were
very scattered and far apart. From
