Journal R.E.Johnson 1967 May 15 Ice House Canyon, Angeles National Forest, Baldy District, California, warm, clear, still. Hiked from four miles parking area at lower end of canyon, to saddle at upper end of canyon where the trail splits (south to Cucamonga Pk, Ontario Pk, & Kelley's Camp & north to Timber Mtn, Telegraph Pk, & Baldy Notch). Creek in Icehouse Canyon is the largest I have ever seen it, being 6-10 Ft wide and 1-2+ Ft. deep. Trail follows bottom of canyon along the north side of the creek. No snow was encountered along the trail until the last mile where snow formed a nearly continuous blanket 1/2 to 2 Ft deep. Streamside willows had not begun to leaf out yet. In the lower portions of the canyon Stelleridays, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Wood Pewees (song commonly heard), Bewick's Wrens, & Violet-Green Swallow were noted. This area is mainly a rugged, boulder-filled wash with alders, willows, canyon live oak, & conifers (neglected to record species composition). Higher in the canyon where snow remains on the ground, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, & White Fir form the overstory and Bush Chinquapin & Manzanita the understory. Here Townsend Solitaires, Mt. Bluebirds, & Oregon Juncos were found on the ground or snow and Pewees, Mtn. Chickadees, Audubon's Warblers, a Hairy Woodpecker, and
