R. MOON 1987 Journal 95 26 May Grapevine Canyon, San Bernardino Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. looked for alligator lizards with Bob Macey & Bruce Waggy in the Grapevines just above the mouth of Grapevine Canyon. We put in several paint can pitfall traps to try to catch these lizards. Apparently the habitat preference of these lizards is similar to that of the Paramint Alligator Lizard - they live in grape- vines along stream courses in the lower parts desert canyons. This area is somewhat rocky, hilly scrub desert with grapevines, desert almond bushes, and some yuccas along the canyon bottom. We didn't find any alligator lizards, but we did find two striped looking fence lizards. I also saw several whiptails in the more open areas around the grapevines. We left in the late afternoon to have dinner somewhere and night drive Amboy Road after dark. Just before sunset we stopped at the summit of Amboy Road in the Bullion Mountains. Sheep Hole Mountains. There we hiked up a granite bouldery canyon cont'd.
