Kendrickson 1950 Journal Aug.22 Lower Corvinton Plate,5000ft,Quinice Co., Calif. bowl in the hills, with a fairly large wash in the bottom, sloping at first (thru Lower Corvinton Plate) S.E., then turning and flowing N.N.E. out of the plate. It soon enters a rather narrow, steep-walled canyon below the windmill which marks Corvinton Well (dry). Desert Willow and juniper in the wash, Pinyon tree and Joshua Tree (widely scattered) seeds on the slopes are the dominant plants noted. Made Camp about 500 yds up the wash from Corvinton Well. Camp roughly established by about 5 P.M. Walked, with Bailey & Harry Russell, down the wash to the point where it enters the steep-walled canyon, returning to camp for supper at 6:00 P.M. Saw Morning Dove, Empeionex (?) and saw one Dolphin-cher (?), as well as about 7 Utras. Collected one small immature Utra stansburiana and one adult. Saw but missed, one Kentuckia vigilis under bark of a dead, fallen Joshua Tree; it ran into a hole in the base of an adjacent, living Joshua Tree. After supper saw several bats, probably Myotis (?)
