Aug. 11-18 Sugar Bowl Lodge vicinity, + other "Donner Pass"
localities nearly (6700-7200ft.) - 1 to 5 seen on
each two-hour class trip which included
any suitable conifer forest of any extent.
There has apparently been some influx
over the nesting population, since they
were encountered only in certain (usually
the denser) parts of the forest in June-early July.
Aug. 24 Ice Lakes Camp Ground (N.E. of Dulverist L.) [see p. 2]
2 came to within 5 ft. of some persons
seated in a group of 12 observers under
the moderately open lodgepole pine forest.
(of nos. seen here June 29, Aug. 10).
Aug. 25 7100' ft., 1/3-1/2 mi. S Donner Pass, Placer Co. Calif. - 3
seen in red firs of patchy, but dense fir-pine forest.
- near Sugar Bowl Lodge [see above] - 1 in red fir -
silver pine - lodgepole pine forest by lodge today
& yesterday. Seemingly, the influx of mid-
august has already dwindled again.
