Crowley 1942 June 4, 259 Buena Vista Ave., San Francisco City & Co., Calif. Journal Birds seen are beautiful, in breeding plumage. Young birds are not about much yet. Saw a couple of young American Dippers. Kings Canyon, where we camped, is all that the word canyon implies - a flat floor with sheer cliffs at some parts or more gently sloping sides at others. Sloping sides are covered first with Yellow Pine and Sugar Pine, Incense Cedar, Manzanita and Snowplant. Further up, the White Fir and Snow Bush creep in, yellow and Sugar Pine thin out, and Incense Cedar stage put. Pines of the 2 needle type is found in marshy mountain meadows - Lodgepole Pine it is, at about 7,000 ft. Weather conditions were superlative for putting up specimens - the few we had. Most days were cold in the morning, warming (with sun) to noon which was hot, then cooling off toward evening. One aft., and night it rained, and this night was the one I caught 2 animal in Zumwalt.
