2. MOON 1987 Journal 69 16 May Quail Spring Basin, Providence mountains San Bernardino co., CA. Bruce and I drove through Quail Spring Basin this afternoon to see what Quail Spring looked like. On the dirt road about 1 mi. southeast from the Arrowweed spring road we saw a Bobcat run out from the creosote bushes on the south side of the road and run up the granite boulder hillside to hide behind a large boulder (Species account: Bobcat). When the Bobcat went behind the boulder a large Chuckwella ran over the top of the boulder from behind it and down the south face into a crevice (Species account: Chuckwlla). We continued east into the basin until we got to the southeastern most granite ridge on the north side of the road. we stopped there to try to catch some Spring Lizards on the boulders. Altogether we saw three of them which we captured for Bruce's diet study on them (Species account: Desert Spiny Lizard). cont'd.
