J.G. Hall 1952 July 2 Sageshen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co, Calif more firs are cut & even a small lodgepole. Never seen positive evidence of conifer use before this. 2 more small dams & more cutting. Seems to be a v. large colony. Sapsucker flew to dead pine snag just above a large dam, the largest of any seen so far in any of the other colonies. First impression is that this isn't a very old colony although it is large. This was based on fact that not many standing drowned l'poles are visible compared to rockslide colony. But on second thought, there are a great many fallen trunks which may have been drowned by the pond a long time ago, thus the pond may be older than rockslide one. Probably the case. Good deal of sprotting which shows on only a couple of stumps I checked, growth starting 1951. Have to check more. Dam really tremendous. Don't see any lodge but don't have time for thorough look this time. Abundant fresh aspen cutting on west bank. Lots of willow below main dam. Another fair-sized dam 70 yds up from main dam. Left 5 PM, Weather clear & hot all day
