3 mi. N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Aug. 26 (cont.) associations & their gradual change
as one drops from 3000 ft to 300 ft. ele-
vation is very noteworthy:
1 on flat top - chinquapin brush (old burn?)
2 on gradual slope & NE of flat top - Douglas fir
forest with tan oak & chinquapin.
3 more & more madrone & some maple & Calif.
Laurel, mixed with Douglas fir & others
4 Broad Sclerophyll forest - dominated by
madrone, Tan oak, (? Chinquapin) with
some Laurel & Lev's oak (sp.?), Maple.
5 Same as 4 + more maple & some alder.
Continuing, we drove 5 mi beyond
Weitchpec along
the Klamath and Trinity Rivers, through
the Hoopa Valley [Indian Reservation] with
its scattered Digger Pines and back into a
Douglas fir - sclerophyll forest mixture.
Arriving at Willow Creek we noted yellow
Pines scattered about the valley & up on
the W facing slope.
After inquiry at the Salper Ranger Station,
about 5 mi. S. of Willow Creek in the 6 Rivers
Nat'l Forest, we came to this locality to
camp. We are situated on "Coon Creek"
(Balcon Creek of some maps), a tributary of
the Trinity River flowing westward toward
it.
I set & traps, & helped get 1 bat.
