Cogswell 1949 Journal 12) Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Wayford, Trinity Co., Calif. Sep. 9 (cont.) birds inhabiting one range thru the other. Dominants: arctostaphylos patula?, ceanothus cordulatus, ceanothus cuneatus (these 3 abundant, the last extending onto more xeric slopes than the first two); quercus garryana var. breweri (abundant locally); brimus smarginata, amolanther alni folia, coriocarpus betuloides, Harrya sp. Purshia tridentata (on xeric slopes with C. cuneatus). The only understory is ceanothus prostratus - occasional Symphoricarpos; - these occur only in the more mesic situations. 4. Barren "balds" - on most xeric ridges, serpentine exposures, etc. Less than 10% of the surface has any vegetation - that is of low- scattered suffruticent plants (Lupinus sp., Erigonum sp., a very small grass, etc.). The rock exposed is mostly much broken - more or less flat on the surface; there are scattered small to 20 ft. diameter rock outcrops which become more frequent in similar areas at higher altitude on S. Dubabella Mtn. (see p. 117). Vertebrate species seen in these habitats during our stay at this camp are listed in the table on p. 123A. From 10:15, when I observed the Augry Owl (see sp. acct), until 11:30 I stayed near "Smoky Creek Spring #2" which is at the head of the East Fork of that creek about 100 yards below the road.
