7 Sept continued - and knocking down the stems. I do
not know whether it was sheep, deer, cattle,
horses or ?? We continued on toward Klein
Spring. One-half mile E of the spring we saw
a large running along the beach S of the
road. At the bottom of the beach, in the
wash, lay a dead ewe. Approx 5 yrs old.
Described in Species Account. Set up a camera
close to the spring, then continued home.
Saw a Spotted Sandpiper in entrance of canyon
13 Sept Plummer Mine Shaft 6800ft - Doe Spring
Arrived at campsite around 1500 hrs. Flus led 3 mule deer
from canyon bottom near camp. They ran half way up
the hill W of camp, stopped and watched us for a while,
then continued over ridges. The only one we got a
good look at was rather small, perhaps this year's
fawn without spots; the other two were larger.
Hiked to Doe Spring. Flushed a mule deer at pass,
but didn't see it. Much deer sign in vicinity of
spring. More than I remember last year. Also old
cow pies. Put time-lapse camera in tree over
spring.
14 Sept Grapevine Peak
Hiked with heavy packs to a saddle about 8000ft,
1 mi SE of peak, then hiked with day pack and
trap pack to peak. Saw a young Peromyscus
maniculatus perping (loudly) scrambling over bushes
and rocks - lost its mother. Eyes just open, very lightly
terror'd, on ridge above closed section of road.
Much deer, cow, horse sign along route.
