Location Narrative |
Site is located 200 m upslope from Condor Gulch parking lot (Gas House) & 75 m upslope from Condor Gulch trail. Evidence of burn nearby. Plot is part of a larger stand on large slope. Larger percent of Artemisia on edges of plot, an edge effect. Within larger stand, there are pockets of gray pine, oaks, chamise, toyon, and Prunus. Hummingbirds in flight. Michelle wrote, "Heard a strange 'rushing wind' noise that may have been a raptor. Didn't see anything though. We contacted the raptor monitor by radio., he said the area was clear except for the possibility of a pair of red tailed hawks. Later witnessed a red-tail chasing a turkey vulture."
