27 March Harris Beach State Park, Curry County, Oregon
Sspent morning of 25 March unsuccessfully
looking for a good site ~NE of North Bend, Oregon
to walk for Plethodon vehiculum (if its
range does extend that far south). No good
seeps or stream access were found, so
after a short stop at Oregon Dunes Nat'l Recreation
Area Sally and I continued S on Hwy 101 to
Bandon where we took Hwy 42 towards Coquille,
Coos Bay where we turned E then Eastside and
towards Allegany along the Coos River Rd.
Locality 8 7.5 mi E of the Eastside P.O. We worked a
S-facing ravine intersecting the road across
from the Coos River. The dominant tree was
Umbellularia california, but otherwise resembled
locality 7 in terms of cover, understory,
moisture etc. Two more striped Plethodon
(glenii?) were soon found in the interior of a
log as was an Eurycea. No other salamanders
found for another hour when 2 more adult
Plethodon and 3 juveniles were found under
the bark of a fallen rotting bay tree.
Ventral speckling is finer than those from locality 7 but not
qualitatively different. Time of observation 1130-
1300 hrs. We returned to Hwy 101 S to Bandon,
then headed E on Hwy 42 S towards Coquille.
