R. MOON 1987 Journal 50 4 May Dorner's Camp, Granite Mountains, San Bernardino Co., CA. Maggie's UCSC mammology class left this morning for Santa Cruz. It's strange that all my friends have to go to class while I stay here, hike around, and watch the animals. I'm getting course credit for this too-- it's really a good deal. Mid morning Bruce and I headed out for Barstow, pizza, and groceries, but we got a little side tracked for a while on Kelbaker Road. We stopped at the granite outcroppings 2.2 mi. north of Hwy 40 to find some Desert Spiny Lizards. It was about 0930 PST and approx 30°c or a little warmer. Between the boulders on both sides of the road we collected six spiny lizards: two adults, one ♂ one ♀; two juveniles, both ♂'s; two subadults, or small adults depending on at what size they usually mature. Bruce is doing that diet study on the Desert Spiny Lizard so we're trying to get a range of ages between spring, summer, and fall. On our way out we found a dead Kingsnake hatchling from last fall; it had been cont'd.
