B. Richardson. 34 134 General Account 2. Junction Meadow Kern Canyon Kern Co., California. 8400 ft. Junction Meadow is not in the true sense of the word a meadow but rather a narrow strip of grass along the river that is cut up into small patches by the groups of Willow and dryy Pole Pine. The floor of the Kern at this point is rather wid (1/4 mi) and is bouldery and sandy in character with a vegetation of chiefly dryy Pole Pine and Yellow Pine. The slopes are vegetated with brush such as Manzanita, Mountain Mahogany, Chinkapin and Greasewood. This morning hike was up the Kern River to the Walker Creek trail and along the trail to the point above the creek and then back to camp. There were a predominance of Fox Sparrow in the brushy slopes.
