PLATE 7 



Fig. 5. Little Onion Valley (altitude 7500 feet), Sierra Nevada, on the Inyo 

 County side, near Kearsarge Pass, California. The scattered conifers are mostly 

 silver fir ; the small trees along the stream are willow, alder and birch ; the 

 chaparral on the hillsides is mostly manzanita and sage. The Yosemite fox 

 sparrow (Passerella iliaca mariposae) is an abundant summer visitant to this 

 place. A nest was found in a manzanita bush shown in the foreground of this 

 picture. Photograph taken June 3, 1912.
