Cogswell 1949 Journal 119 Red Mtn, 5300 ft. 14 mi. S Hayford Trinity Co. Calif Sep.8 Soon after dark I heard a screech owl in camp & about 9:45-10 p.m. I spotted owls (see species accounts). The evening was clear and windless with a bright moon. Also saw 1 flying squirrel run into a hole, in a dead snag, heard it come out again - got the flashlight on it in time to glimpse it as it scurried up the trunk. A moment later I heard the typical "plop" of its landing on another tree, followed by more rustling of its nails on the bark. Sep.9 About 8:30 a.m. I started Southward along the ridge toward Red Mtn itself, which is 2 1/2 mi. from our camp. The ridge trends ESE for about half that distance. The vegetation along the ridge is similar to that near our camp - since I have not covered this in detail I will list the associations recognized here & their major component species: 1. Open pine forest - on most slopes, thinning out toward the ridges or on serpentine ex- posures. Dominants: Pinus ponderosa, Pinus jeffreyi, and hybrids of same (abundant); Larocedrus decurrens, Pines lambertiana (few). Interstitial - understory: Quercus garryana (more over 20 ft. high), Ceanothus cordulatus, Arctostaphylos patulae, Ceanothus prostratus, amelanchier alnifolia, Prunus emarginata, Symlocarpous sp.
