The addition of these is not in sufficient quantity to change the general character of the forest, however. Several Chamaecyparis law- soniana trees were seen in this forest along Brannan Creek near where the road crosses it.

The forest on the W-facing slope along the road here has the same tree species, but with Tan Oak predominant & considerably more Quercus chrysolepis in evidence. A Pygmy Owl was heard calling here at about 11:00 a.m. Just short of reaching "Three Creek Summit" we turned NE onto the side road leading toward Brannan Mtn. Just before this road
