and Yellow Pine seem to be the dominating
Trees and are of huge size.
Form about 500 ft. approx. 500 ft.
there is a stand of White Pine in
the bottom of the canyon which
by now has become somewhat
dry and precipitous, 75°.
The Firs & Douglas Spruce at
the head of the canyon do not
represent good Canadian zone territory
for Nestoma fusiceps & Eutermas
bogomae were taken there. However,
Fox Sparrows and Green Tailed Tanagers
in small numbers seemed to be
Nearby breeding nearby.
There appears to be no good
Canadian zone areas on the West
side of Horse Ridge, despite the
patched Canadian brush and trees.
Probably on the east side of the ridge,
where David now lies heavily, there
is better Canadian Zone spots.
From about 4000 down to the
valley floor of the Mad River, the
canyon mentioned above seems to
be like many of the surrounding ridges,
dry with scattered Yellow Pine, Douglas Spruce
and Black Oak.
