Yosemite, Calif.
August 15
This evening at early dusk, 6:30
I came upon a King Snake lying
in the Eagle Peak trail, near the
spring on the talus slope. The
snake's head was hidden in a
crevise between the rocks and
he seemed very sluggish.
At the foot of the trail a
few minutes later the children
started a doe. Several deer
have been reported on the valley
floor within the past two
weeks: a doe with two fawns,
seen at Camp 15 about 6:30 a.m.;
two bucks, a doe, and two fawns
along the creek near the junction
of Yosemite Creek with the
Merced; and a buck seen several
times between the foot of the
Eagle Peak trail and the foot-
bridge to Camp Ahwahnee.
