Observation Narrative	A wooded high elevation talus/outcrop slope with a steep, NW aspect, ca. 100 m below Buzzard Rock. Combined environmental stresses, primarily exposure to severe winter winds and ice, produce an unusual dwarfed northern hardwood stand (classified as scrub), under which grows attractive rock gardens" of mosses, lichens, ferns and flowering herbs.
