Sept 1 3 mis N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
a young Ground Squirrel in the cut-over Pure
Douglas Fir forest just N of Johnson Prairie.
This Pure Douglas Fir Forest is essentially
the same as previously described (Journal
p. 143 ) but with the addition of a
few Ponderosa Pines scattered around.
Went from Johnson Prairie, N to a little
East fork
pond at the head of Three Creeks. Found it
filled with very little water-- most of
basin filled with Carex, a grass and
juncus. Lots of Byella in Carex. Surrounding
forest is composed of Port Orford Cedar Chamae-
laurocerasiana, Douglas Fir (cedar
Ced.), Chinquapin, Tan Oak (some), Madrone
with understory of Salal, Bracken Fern and
Prince's Pine Chimaphila umbellata and Dwarf Oregon (Berberis
nervosa).
The Pine-Cedar Open Forest is composed of
Sugar, Jeffrey and Knobcone Pines
Pinus lambertiana, jeffreyi and tuberculata with some
Douglas Fir & Incense Cedar. 3 Manzanitas
Arctostaphylos manzanita, canescens and nevadensis,
Huckleberry Oak and Golden-cup Oaks
(Quercus vaccinifolium + chrysolepis), Tan Oak (litho-
carpus [and densiflores]) and Ceanothus
cuneatus for the rather low 1 to 4 foot
high understory. There were many
Chipmunks with high squeaky voices, also
(Esonomus)
