Serad Valley to Whaleback, Susieion Co., Calif
2 July (ant) At the ranger station we asked for directions to
potential Fox Sp. habitat + we directed to a burn on
the Whaleback while we eventually (after some false
starts) found. The locality is:
N slope of The Whaleback, 9 mi. N + 5 mi. E summit Mt.
Strata: [illegible] Susieion Co., Calif. [T. 43° N, R. 2 W, SE # sec. 20]

returned to take tissues. After this we went on a walk

preparation of birds for a couple? hours then bed.

down to meet Bob which we did about an hour after arriving
at the meeting place. We then took tissues from the birds we
had gotten + had lunch ca. 1130. After finishing up the birds,
we moved on to try to find some better Fox Sp. habitat. We
