Berkeley to Rye Patch State Recreation Area, Nevada
19 June
Began a month-long Gernherotis collecting trip to Montana,
Idaho, British Columbia, Washington, etc., today. With me are
Toni Boleyjack and Meg Winberg. Expecting to meet at 08:30
this morning, we instead, through one thing and another, got
away ca. 1300. Drove on Hwy 80 all the way from Berkeley
to Rye Patch SRA (ca. 40 mi. W of Winnemucca) which
we reached at about 1930. We did no collecting today
although I looked briefly for frogs along part of the margin
of the stream below Rye Patch Dam this evening.
No frogs are calling.
Rye Patch State Recreation Area, Nevada to Tanghee Nat'l Forest, Idaho
20 June
Up 0515 this morning following a loud dawn chorus. Meg +
Toni got up shortly thereafter and we ate, packed up and got on the
road by 0700. The route of travel today followed Hwy 80
to Wells then north on Hwy 93 to Twin Falls, Idaho. From
there E on Hwy 84 to get w/ Hwy 86. Then E to Poratello
then N on Hwy 15 to Idaho Falls. Finally N on Hwy 20 toward
Yellowstone. We stopped at the first campground in Tanghee
Nat'l Forest, which we reached at 2030. I spent about ½ an
hour rolling logs before it got dark but found nothing. After
supper we walked along a bit of the bank of Henry's Fork of
the Snake River looking for frogs but found none. Vegetation
here primarily young Douglas Fir with many logged-over areas.
Species seen at Rye Patch this morning:
Bull sp. (Mallard?)
Great Blue Heron
Black-necked Stilt
Morning Dove
