Case, Susan M. 1972 Journal Suolumne Co, Calif July 8 Son Buckholtz & I made the trip today in search of the foothill yellowlegged frog? to generally look over the area for further field work. We stopped at a number of places. 1) Moccasin Creek - just at the State Fish Hatchery just off Rte 120. The main portion of the creek is too rapid flowing for R. boylei but one of the side branches looked possible. Riparian situation, ~1000'. Spent from 8:45AM -> 10:30AM. walking down side branch of creek. Nothing seen or heard (except birds). Dam. veg. along banks = blackberries, not quite ripe yet. 2) Middle Fork Suolumne River in vicinity of Oakland Recreation Camp - across road from Monroe's (?) Camping site - where were saw. cabins etc. Spent ~ 11:30AM -> 1:30 P.M. walking upstream. Made one capture, heard a couple more young individuals. Since it was really warm we decided to eat lunch, go up to Mather and look around and come back to this site later in the day. 3) Mather - Bird Lake - (posted) - lot of campers swimming. Just walked
