May 8. SW side of Bass Lake, 3500' alt., Madera Co., Calif. (cont'd.)

In the above record all species continued in voice
after being first listed, except where cessation is
indicated. From 0515-0600 I walked up the
slope (N. facing) above camp a few hundred feet.
and then, hearing a Buggny owl start calling
across the canyon, I went over that direction,
found it, the sun having then risen so as
to strike the ground below the trees in
which it was perched. (see species account).
After breakfast (ending about 0800) the class as a whole
went up the canyon a short distance. Vertebrates
noted in this locality on any of the above coverages are
tallied here: (*= see species account).
