I also checked five traps that were
at another spring about '1/4 southeast
of Goldstone Spring in a rocky canyon
below burned out hillsides.
In two traps along a small flowing
stream in a sandy part of the wash
I found a fence lizard and three skinks
(one male, one female, one dead). In
the puddles where the spring is I found
two toads in amplexus; they took cover
under the edge of a rock as I watched
them. In two more traps above the
spring I found only several beetles
without lizard company.
I hiked back down to the pipeline road
where Bruce was waiting - he didn't find
any spring lizards, only utahs. The hike &
trap checking took 1 1/2 hours. For upper
spring (species accounts: Gilbert skink;
Western Fence Lizard; Red Spotted Toad.)
