Calif. 2 Gravel Bar - both in the marsh area at the south end of the lagoon and along Maple Creek at least as far inland as the campsite. - devoid of vegetation. 10 Open water - water without emergent vegetation and deep enough for mallards to tip in- for the most part quite choked with Potamogeton, in the area south of the Highway U.S. 101 bridge across the lagoon - north of the bridge mostly or entirely clear wavy water. Aug 19 Humboldt Co. Calif. - left the Maple Creek campsite about 11 a.m. Proceeded to Orick for lunch and supplies. Lots of English Sparrows at Orick. Left Orick and drove north to the turn-off to Witchsee... Left the truck there and drove on up to the Prairie Creek Redwood State Park where we looked at some Roosevelt Elk Cervus canadensis. Returned to the truck and took off to the East. Very quickly the road starts up steeply. About 400 to 500 feet above the valley floor.
