channel running until the West Boulder Meadows. The current is 

 too slow around the meadows where mud bottoms exist. Above the 

 Beaver meadows and up the East and West Forks the gradient is 

 higher and likewise with Falls Cr . , the available nesting and 

 feeding areas a^re absent.

The Mill Cr. area showed good potential for harleguins. 

 There was one reported sighting of a harleguin on the West Fork. 

 Later in July after this sighting occurred, the Thompson Cr . fire 

 occurred. I surveyed the area after the fire, but no harleguins 

 were present. The East Fork was a low gradient creek, but had 

 few if any loafing sites and very few islands. The upper reaches 

 of West Fork of Mill Cr. and where Monitor Cr . flows in, the 

 stream banks were steep with rock ledges. On Mill Cr. from 

 Passage cr. to Lambert Cr., the gradient is low, but islands and 

 loafing sites a^rB absent. 



The Sixmile Cr . area contained open areas due to cattle 

 grazing and then gradually the stream bank vegetation took its 

 place. Both Sixmile and North Fork of Sixmile creeks were low 

 gradient creeks, and water levels were too low at this time of 

 the year. 



Big Cr. had cattle grazing above the trailhead, so the area 

 around the creek was fairly open. One section contained steep 

 rocky banks and large boulders with waterfalls. Water levels 

 were also low at this time of the year on Big Cr. As 1 surveyed 

 towards the private land. Big Cr . went dry as water was diverted 

 to irrigation.
