Crowley 1947 Journal May 28 Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. on the center of the meadow leaving a great fog. On the return trip, I saw a Chuckaree, Calif. Jay, Chickadees, a Chipmunk, the White-headed Wood pecker, and Nutatches in Sugar and Yellow Pines. The Dimes had invited us to dinner. J. Dixon had prepared Stephenoi for me; and also treated us to a showing of the pictures he had taken at Mt. McKinley, Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. May 29. Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. set 2 traps north of camp, across the road from the ranger's station. Dipone was strung at the base of the mountain range, in manzanita, Yellow Pines and about rocks. Caught g/ Ceromyocnus [illegible] in a trap set under a fallen, decaying log near manzanita, on sandy hillsides. At 7:45AM party of six including Mrs. Dixon, J. Ogilvie, Ida De May, Jean Russech, M. Redon and me - set out on the old trail for Lookout Peak. After an early morning temperature of 32°F., the temperature rose rapidly. At Mountain Meadow we saw a Sierra Creeper working up a pine tree; a member of Junecoe hopping about near the edge of the snow, heard a Piledated Woodpecker drumming, away up the canyon.
