July 8 .8 mi's Kaiser Pass, 8500 ft., Fresno Co. Caly.
This is the location of my camp. It is a nice area,
near a stream and small meadow, with a
rocky, grassy slope across the road. It is 1.1
road miles from the pass, between the pass and
Badger Flat. Got here just as the sun went
behind the hill. The company is mostly open,
but there are 5 large trees (3 pine, 2 redwood)
which give shelter most of the day.
July 9 Kaiser Pass Meadow, 9100 ft., Fresno Co. Caly.
Got here at 6:30 to collect. The meadow lies just
beyond the pass. It is quite extensive, with
pine bordering and intruding. The meadow is
very wet - there is 2 or 3 inches of water in places
and is grass and flowers up to 4" high. White-
crowns are in the pines all around. There are
a few small streams running thru the meadow,
with frogs in the deeper pools. Saw the
following birds:
Mountain Chickadee
Cassinia Finch
Hermit Thrush
White-Breasted Nuthatch
Robin
Oregon Junco
Mt. Bluebird
White-Crowned Sparrow
Brown Creeper
Chipping Sparrow
Breuer Blackbird
W. Wood Peewee
Ruby-crowned Krislet
Flicker (nest)
Western Tanager
Anderson Warbler
Solitary Vireo (seemst day)
House Wren
Steller Jay.
