Sept 7 Red Mtn, 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Hayfork Trinity Co., Calif.
The general heavy use of the various Crestlines.
Back by the lookout tower I saw a Mantled Ground Squirrel but failed to
collect it. At the same place I failed to
collect a Nashville Warbler from a dense
Tangle of Brewer Oak. Near the
Red Mtn Guard Station I saw and fired
at but missed another Mantled Ground
Squirrel. Murray let me out just N of
Red Mtn (the Guard Station and Lookout are
both on the ridge E of Red Mtn) and, at
11 a. m. I saw 2 Barn Swallows pass
by, both flying low, through the forest
crown, calling back and forth. They
were flying directly south. Heard a deer
in the forest below me and Red-breasted
Nuthatches and a Gray Squirrel are
perching from the Pine-Cedar-Fir forest
just west of me. There is a typical
Fir-Cedar-Pine Open Forest on Red Mtn as
ground camp. It is composed of White Fir
(Abies concolor) (with a very little Douglas
Fir mixed in), Incense Cedar, and
Jeffrey Pines. The understory where it
loses exist is almost entirely Manry Oak
while the ground cover consists of Brewer
Oak (Quercus breweri), Manzanita (Arctostaphylos
Brown-Berry
