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.
